Oilers legend Wayne Gretzky is back in Edmonton covering the Stanley Cup Final with NHL on TNT, and also took the time for a life changing interaction with some fans.

Gretzky has also been sticking by the Oilers in all of his predictions through this playoffs, always picking Edmonton to win the cup even when there were questions at the start of the postseason.

Wayne Gretzky shares life altering interaction with Oilers fans

Wayne Gretzky's family partnered with social media influencer Zachary Dereniowski, who's known for making giveaways to under appreciated hardcore fans in the community.
With tickets supplied by the Gretzky family, two Oilers fans were approached in a dollar store and given the opportunity of a lifetime to attend Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final, and $1000 in cash.
It's incredible to see some of the city's most hardcore fans rewarded for their belief in the team with an incredible gift when they need it most.
Wayne Gretzky's personal involvement is incredible to see too, as he's continued to be an ambassador for Edmonton and the Oilers throughout his life. Gretzky met with the two fans during the game, shook their hands, and gave them a moment they'll remember forever.
Gretzky has been in the public eye plenty this year, as Ovechkin shattered his career goal record. The Oilers legend was gracious about passing up his record, but has also proved that his legacy will be about more than just goals and points - but also about paying it back to the fans.
There's no one that Gretzky is rooting more for than Connor McDavid, the young phenom who could only be compared to Gretzky. Of course, he wants to see him and the Oilers lift the cup this year.
