Evander Kane stands up for young Oilers fan with cancer who was harassed by Los Angeles Kings fans at game 4
Some fans take things WAY too far, especially during the playoffs and that was the case on Friday night when the Edmonton Oilers were in Los Angeles to take on the Kings.
A young Oilers fans by the name of Cecily, who is battling with cancer, got to go on a trip thanks to her friend and Oilers forward, Evander Kane, but Kings fans harassed her during Game 3 on Sunday night.
"My dear friend @simply_cecily_rose got to go an amazing trip to LA last week that created some incredibly fun memories. But some of her experience in LA specifically at Game 3 of the game 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 a 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 said in an Instagram story.
This is absolutely disgusting, to spit on and harass someone, let alone someone who is very young and going through a difficult time in their life is despicable. Hopefully the staff and security at Crypto.com Arena can look through the cameras in the stands and find the people who harassed Cecily and ban them from attending another game for a very long time.
Kane also shared this DM he received.
