One of the best stories of this years playoffs was Ben Stelter, who was the biggest Edmonton Oilers fan and became a part of all our lives for the playoffs. He accompanied the team all the way to the Western Conference Finals, giving them the spirit and drive to keep fighting to win the cup.



Even after the Edmonton Oilers lost in the Western Conference Finals, Ben was still supporting his team and giving them hope for next season!




At five-years-old Ben was diagnosed with Glioblastoma, a brain tumor quite rare for children his age.

Unfortunately Ben's father Mike announced today that Ben has lost his battle with the tumor.

The world lost the most special boy and an absolute hero last night. Ben, you were the best son we could ever hope for and you were my best bud ever. Your sisters were so lucky to have you as such a sweet brother. You fought so long and hard and beat so many odds.

You truly changed the world and did so much good in your short time here. Mom and I are so proud of you. You had a bigger heart than anyone we've ever met. Our hearts are left with a Ben sized hole in them and life will never be the same without you. We are absolutely crushed.



From all of us at House of Hockey, we wish to offer our sincerest condolences to the Stelter family for their loss.

Play Labamba Baby.
