Oilers, City of Edmonton make #SpiderMable’s wish come true

spidermable does it

In a wonderful gesture that echoed the Bay Area’s “Batkid,” the Edmonton Oilers and City of Edmonton teamed up to make one child’s dream come true on Monday.

The Children’s Wish Foundation of Canada learned that Mable Tooke - or #SpiderMable - wanted to battle crime while she battles cancer.

Spider-Man pitched in to help, too.

Ultimately, #SpiderMable saved the day, and captured many hearts along the way. Here are some additional photos from the Oilers:
