A Long Way From Home

Sixty-seven fans traveled in one of the tour groups following the Edmonton Oilers in Europe. Sixty-six of them came to see their favorite team. One came to hear it. Jim Bennett, 79, is blind. Yet there he was with his wife, Del, 78, the two of them wearing orange Oilers jerseys at Scandinavium on Saturday as the Oilers played the New Jersey Devils in the 2018 NHL Global Series.
