West Edmonton Mall hosted the “Slapshots & Snapshots: Photos with Nuge at North Pole Place” earlier this week. The highly anticipated event saw bookings sell out in less than 24 hours.
The lucky guests who booked in time were able to capture a one of a kind holiday memory with Oilers star Ryan Nugent-Hopkins and Santa Clause while supporting a meaningful foundation within the community.
100% of the booking fees from the event were donated to the Ben Stelter Foundation, continuing the legacy of Ben’s big heart and generosity by helping children fight Giloblastoma and other Cancer.
Mike Stelter, Executive Director of the foundation and Ben’s dad, spoke to 89.3 The Raven about the continued support from the Edmonton Oilers organization.
Mike and Lea Stelter
Although he was born in BC, Nugent-Hopkins has called Alberta home since 2010 when he started his WHL career in Red Deer with the Rebels, he’s since spent 14 years with Edmonton and saw his fair share of up’s and downs but says he’s grateful for the everlasting support from the fans in the province.
Nugent-Hopkins discussed the relationship formed between the Oilers and the Stelter foundation and what it means to him.
