the home arena for the two teams at Rexall Place.
"The Oilers organization has always been a champion in our
eyes," said Pat Finelli, chief marketing officer for Pizza 73, in a news release. "Edmonton
is where Pizza 73 first opened its doors in 1985, and so partnering
with this team is an exciting step for our brand. We intend to bring as
much commitment, energy and passion off the ice with our products and
service as the players bring on the ice."

particularly delighted to have Pizza 73, with its deep roots in
Edmonton, as the official pizza of the Edmonton Oilers," said
Patrick LaForge, president and COO for Oilers Entertainment Group.

the Calgary Flames, Hitmen, Stampeders, FC Edmonton, as well as a number
of minor sports teams across Alberta, Saskatchewan and British
Columbia. In addition, the pizza chain supports Children's Miracle
