Evander Kane Speaks Out After Kings Fans Attack a Young Oilers Fan Battling Cancer
On Friday night, the Oilers faced the Kings for the third game between the two teams. Something happened in the stands that grabbed the public's attention.
A young Oilers fan, who is currently battling cancer, got the chance to fly to LA to see the game. What was supposed to be a great day turned sour when she was harassed by Kings fans for wearing an Oilers' shirt.

He released a statement on Instagram about the issue:
"My dear friend @simply_cecily_rose got to go on an amazing trip to LA last week that created some incredibly fun memories. But some of her experience in LA, specifically at Game 3, was not.
I'm disgusted and appalled at what happened to this amazing little girl in the stands and in a women's restroom where she was harassed for wearing her jersey and was spit on by an LA fan for doing so.
This type of behavior is gross and completely unacceptable. For any young girl, especially battling cancer, to be treated in such a manner is pathetic.
Grow up, and as this smart young lady always says, be kind."

Kane has a controversial reputation within the hockey community, but gestures like this one show that he can still do nice things and that anyone can create a positive impact if they speak up when they see something wrong happening.
