    Bill Hunter, 82, Oilers Former Owner and Founder Dies

    Great One recalls a hockey pioneer with vision, integrity and wild sense of humour

    From the Edmonton Journal:

    Wayne Gretzky always called him Mr. Hunter because he was honoured to be in Wild Bill's company.

    Few know better than Gretzky what Hunter did for this city.

    The man ultimately responsible for bringing the NHL -- and Gretzky -- to Edmonton died Monday at the age of 82.

    Full Story

    The arena I work at was recently renamed in his honor. Bill Hunter Arena.
    When I die, please don't let my wife sell my camera equipment for what I told her I paid for it.
