The Oilers will be debuting their new alternate jerseys for the first time on Tuesday vs. the Mammoth, and it will also be a very special Armed Forces evening.

The Edmonton Oilers will honor the military services on Tuesday when the team plays the Utah Mammoth at Rogers Place. The event will feature a military theme, making it a Canadian Armed Forces Appreciation Game.
This will include a ceremonial puck drop, a flag party led by the team's commanding officers, and an intermission shootout featuring the children of the armed forces.
The event will also include tributes that will feature the bravery and sacrificial services offered by the armed forces.

There will be a one-of-a-kind 50/50 raffle for the game that will benefit the Military's families

The proceeds from a special 50/50 raffle being organized by the Oilers will benefit the 4 Wing Military Family Resource Centre Society in Cold Lake, Alberta, which assists military families in different ways.
"The brave members of the Canadian Armed Forces play a critical role both at home and abroad in safeguarding our citizens and our nation's sovereignty," Tim Shipton, executive vice president of communications/gaming for OEG Sports & Entertainment, said Monday morning in a media release. "In recognition of their courage and sacrifice, we are proud to honour the true Heroes of Oil Country."

To kick-start the event, a unique skills-and-drills session involving personnel from the military will occur, followed by a shinny game for the armed forces personnel along with the Oilers alumni.
The activity is a part of the «Soldier On» recovery program that aims to assist ill and injured soldiers and veterans through various sporting, recreational, and creative pursuits.
Making the evening even more special, the Oilers will wear their new alternative uniform for the first time this season, making it only fitting for a night that celebrates bravery, spirit, and the unity that hockey has found with its military patrons.
