EDMONTON, AB - The newest addition to the Edmonton Oilers is ready to make her 'bark' on the National Hockey League with a 'dogged' approach to the game.
As proud supporters of the Dogs with Wings Assistance Dog Society (DWW) the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation (EOCF) has sponsored Puppy-in-Training Flex, a five-month-old Labrador.
Upon the completion of the Dogs with Wings Dog Sponsorship Program, Flex will become a certified Assistance Dog, ultimately changing lives for those most vulnerable and leaving an ever-lasting impact within the community.
"We've added a lot of pieces in the off-season but I think bringing in Flex with her pedigree is going to be an unbelievable addition," Director of Salary Cap Management & Assistant to the President of Hockey Operations Bill Scott said during Flex's official contract signing this week.
