The National Hockey League team introduced the bus service package last week for fans in the Alberta communities of Lloydminster, Cold Lake, Bonnyville, Fort McMurray, Athabasca, Grande Prairie, Whitecourt, Hinton, Edson and Red Deer.

The packages, which include several ticket-location and price options for Games 3 and 4 of the Oilers’ first-round series against the Kings, went on sale Friday, and include bus transportation that will depart each community on game day and return immediately after the game.
