Young Oilers fan from Gjoa Haven rocks No. 97 parka

Jaxon Pala Puqiqnak, 12, of Gjoa Haven, wears a handmade Edmonton Oilers parka his mother Abby Puqiqnak finished Monday after two weeks of work. The parka features No. 97, the number worn by Oilers captain Connor McDavid, but Jaxon’s favourite Oiler is Leon Draisaitl. Although his mother and siblings are Toronto Maple Leafs fans, Jaxon and his dad Paul are devoted Oilers fans and have travelled to Edmonton for games over the past six years.
