The Okotoks Oilers lent a hand to Pizza 73 Wednesday, November 8, to make "Smile Pizza's" in support of the "Slices for Smiles" fundraiser.

Until Sunday, November 12, customers can support the Calgary Children's Hospital by purchasing a Smile Pizza from Pizza 73.

Carter Huber, Okotoks Oilers Captain says the team was happy to help.

"It's a big part of our organization to be a part of giving to good causes, so obviously that's a really great cause we can help out with, it's something we're really proud of as an organization."

Throughout the afternoon customers had the chance to meet and greet the players, receive signed autographs, and of course order a pizza.

Huber says it's important the team give back to businesses that support them.

"We had the opportunity to come to Pizza 73, and just represent the Oilers' brand. Pizza 73 supports us so we thought we'd get out and support them as well, and we get a chance to make some pizza here as well so it's pretty fun."

A portion proceeds from the sale of each Smile Pizza will be directed to help fund critical care, research, training and equipment at the Calgary Children's Hospital.
