First Nations hockey fans rally around the Oilers as they fight for the Stanley Cup

Oilers fever is high across the country, particularly among First Nations people, who have always loved the game. 

It's a love that stretches from coast to coast, with some First Nations fans proudly showing their years-long support for the team, while others are joining in on a chance to cheer on the last Canadian team standing in the battle for the Stanley Cup.

"I have really vivid memories of being at my great-grandpa's house, watching the Oilers play," said Skye Boucher, who will be cheering from Hay River, N.W.T. 

"It was just always something that was part of my life, and part of my family."

Boucher runs K'estuwé Pieces with her mother Suzanne Hanna, a company that makes Dene-designed earrings using beads, bones, and moose hides. 

Inspired by the Oilers, the pair is launching a new collection ahead of the Stanley Cup final. The designs took inspiration from the team's uniforms, using the pattern of the stripes on the team's socks and jerseys.

She says finding the perfect blue and orange beads surprisingly wasn't too hard. 

"My mom and I … have a  bad addiction to [collecting] beads, like any time we see any beads from anywhere, we have to buy them," said Boucher. "So we actually had these colours on hand already."
