Two legendary members of the Edmonton Oilers will be honoured during the upcoming season.

On Sept.28, current members of the Oilers will unveil a dressing room tribute to the late Joey Moss. Then, on Nov. 5, Kevin Lowe will have his number four jersey raised to the rafters when the Oilers host the New York Rangers.

Moss passed away on Oct. 26, 2020, at the age of 57. He was the Oilers locker room attendant from 1984 until his passing. Over the course of his career, Moss became a beloved figure with the Oilers and their fans. His positive energy and commitment to helping others are two pillars of his legacy.
