Kelowna's mayor is a big Edmonton Oilers fan! He retweeted me below.

Bet this makes #Kelowna's Mayor @Basran happy too @theScore https://t.co/Pam7qlKk1i

Wonder if the mayor will vote in my Oilers poll? I think he'll be happy with the results...

Will the #Oilers make the playoffs in their first season in their new arena?

The mayor is even a bigger fan of the Kelowna Rockets I bet! They even drafted a goalie with his last name a couple of months ago. Just click on the Twitter link below to see Roman Basran.

@CanuckStruck @CSSHL @RomanBasran @DHAbantamprep @Kelowna_Rockets No relation. But my new favourite player!
