In April, Colby Cave of the Edmonton Oilers tragically passed away at the age of 25. Since the return of hockey, the Oilers franchise has done a number of things to honour Cave's memory, including a scrimmage dedicated to him.

The @EdmontonOilers will be dedicating their final scrimmage of training camp to the memory of the late Colby Cave.https://t.co/hxyCjV6jHW

Right now, the Oilers are preparing for their first exhibition game for a play-in series against the Blackhawks and Edmonton goaltender Mikko Koskinen decided to honour Colby on his new mask he got for the return of hockey.

And of course one other very important addition. #WeSkateFor Colby 🧡💙 pic.twitter.com/vAec1pFFAn

A heartwarming addition to Mikko's mask. The Oilers, the hockey community, and the world miss Colby, and Edmonton will continue to #SkateForCave as they return to the ice tonight.
