When the Edmonton Oilers faced off against the Dallas Stars in the last Playoffs game, clinching that precious spot in the Stanley Cup Final, their devotees back home felt every mile of the distance between them and their fave team about to take on this nail-biting challenge.
This is where Air Canada Fan Flight swooped in, bringing three eager Oilers fans to exactly where their team needed them most. And when the Oilers won, they were right there to cheer on their favourites in person.
And now, you could win seats on the upcoming Air Canada Fan Flight to watch the Oilers play Game 5 of the Stanley Cup Final in Florida! Entries close at 9 a.m. MT, Friday, June 7, so don't hesitate if you want to experience this once-in-a-lifetime experience of seeing the Oilers on the road to the Stanley Cup. Enter the contest here.
Among the deserving fans who went to Dallas were Michelle, who selflessly serves her community as a 911 operator; Jackie, a devoted Oilers fan, mom, and business owner; and Devin, an aid at a senior living community who even runs a hockey pool for seniors at work. Air Canada rewarded them each with the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to watch the Oilers come away victorious against the Dallas Stars in Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals.

Their unforgettable experience began with a special gate send-off, thanks to Hunter the mascot, before flying to Dallas to support their faves. Once there, they got the deluxe treatment, including luxury accommodation, access to the super-exclusive Oilers morning skate, a welcome breakfast with radio hosts Jack Michaels and Bob Stauffer, and premium tickets to the game — all courtesy of Air Canada Fan Flight.
It's not the first time Air Canada has connected fans with where they really want to be, either. As the Official Airline to all seven Canadian NHL teams, the PWHL and its six teams, the Toronto Raptors, and the WNBA Canada Game, they've been connecting hundreds of deserving Canadians with their teams across the continent to support athletes since Air Canada Fan Flight started in 2018.
Every year, Air Canada rewards deserving fans of each Canadian team with their own special Fan Flight experience, where they get to encourage their sports idols on the road.
This year, Toronto Raptors devotee KeAndre was treated to a game in Houston, Braden from Alberta was flown to see the Calgary Flames in New York, and Toronto Maple Leafs fan Jaiya got to cheer on her faves in Las Vegas — and that's just a handful of fans who were awarded this awesome experience. Plus, Air Canada Fan Flight has supported over 20 charities and foundations since its foundation.
