EDMONTON, AB, March 31, 2023 /CNW/ - This Sunday, April 2, 2023, 68 young hockey fans and players with aspirations of one day playing in the NHL are getting that chance early! Boston Pizza, in partnership with the Edmonton Oilers, has selected winners from BP restaurants in the Edmonton and Northern Alberta areas.
