Edmonton Oilers defenseman. Community leader. Sustainability scholar. Stanley Cup Champion. Captain.
There are a lot of way describe Andrew Ference, who is not your typical NHL defenseman. When not on the ice or practicing hard, he is heavily involved in the Edmonton community, helping with Children’s Wishes or working with sustainability. He’s even earned his graduate certificate from Harvard’s Extension School for Corporate Sustainability and Innovation, all while serving a role with the Oilers.
However, Ference definitely finds that being an active member of the Edmonton community is perhaps one of the most important things.
