## Resource

Cal Nichols, the unsung hero who saved the Edmonton Oilers from relocation, passed away at 84. As chair of the Edmonton Investors Group, he rallied 38 investors to pool $110 million to keep the team in “Oil Country.” A titan of Canada’s oil industry, he’d founded Northridge and Gasland Oil before turning his passion for hockey into a city-saving mission — even organizing a ticket drive that galvanized fans. His legacy? Ensuring the Oilers remain Edmonton’s heartbeat for generations. Listen in comfort: Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
