Extremely sad news from the hockey world
Ben Stelter was the Edmonton Oilers biggest fan. He accompanied the team all the way to the Western Conference Finals, cheering them on the entire way. At five-years-old Ben was diagnosed with Glioblastoma, a brain tumor quite rare for children his age. Unfortunately Ben's father Mike announced that Ben had lost his battle with the tumor.
The world lost the most special boy and an absolute hero last night. Ben, you were the best son we could ever hope for and you were my best bud ever. Your sisters were so lucky to have you as such a sweet brother. You fought so long and hard and beat so many odds.
You truly changed the world and did so much good in your short time here. Mom and I are so proud of you. You had a bigger heart than anyone we've ever met. Our hearts are left with a Ben sized hole in them and life will never be the same without you. We are absolutely crushed.
Ben was an inspiration to the entire Edmonton Oilers and Hockey fans alike. A donation will be made in Ben's honour to a cancer foundation.
Our thoughts and prayers go out to the entire family.
Play La bamba Baby ❤️
