TSN: Oilers offered moose-dropping necklace
PEACE RIVER, Alta. (CP) - A northern Alberta Cree leader is offering an unusual form of help for the Edmonton Oilers on their quest to capture the Stanley Cup.
Bill Sewepagaham, First Nations co-ordinator for the Peace River School Division, is donating a necklace made out of lacquered deer and moose droppings, which he says will bring good luck to whoever wears it.
According to ancient Cree legend, hunters who had a rough day capturing food would smear their weapons in animal droppings and their fortunes would change.
Sewepagaham says there's no doubt in his mind that if Oilers coach Craig MacTavish wears the necklace, his team will bring home the Stanley Cup.
The magic of the necklace might not work right away. It was still in Edmonton as of Friday while the Oilers were already in Anaheim to face the Ducks in the first two games of the Western Conference final.
