On the ice or in the streets, youth hockey is a timeless
tradition that plays out year-round from coast to coast, and
embodies the purest spirit of the sport!
This fine silver coin pays tribute to this nationwide passion
to play that has endured for over 100 years, and celebrates
fan loyalties to Canada's beloved NHL teams—including
the Edmonton Oilers.
A must-have for sports collectors and hockey fans!
Designed by Canadian artist Silvia Pecota, the coin
features full color over an engraved scene that transports
the viewer to a rural community near Edmonton. A brisk
winter day offers the perfect opportunity for youths to
play some hockey out on the frozen ice surface, not far
from the silos, farms and trees that dot the landscape in
the background.
Wearing winter coats, hats and even jerseys that are in
step with the colors of their beloved home team, these
youths show their enthusiasm through broad smiles and
glowing expressions! In the foreground, two players
cross their sticks as they fight for control of the puck
near an unguarded net; behind them, one child is
preparing its equipment before joining in this exciting
game of shinny hockey. Above them is the familiar blue,
white and copper-colored logo of the Edmonton Oilers.
