Mama Stanley Walks Away Over Formenton Signing | Edmonton Oilers News

Mama Stanley, Edmonton Oilers’ iconic superfan and sexual assault survivor known for her elaborate human Stanley Cup costumes, has walked away from the team after they signed Alex Formenton — one of five players acquitted in a 2018 sexual assault case. Loewen, who sees her fandom as a symbol of support for survivors, called the move “more painful than any playoff loss” and launched a petition demanding the Oilers reverse the signing, which has already drawn over a thousand signatures. Formenton, inactive in the NHL since 2022 and now playing in Switzerland, is the third from that group to return to the league. The Oilers have yet to respond publicly, but the fallout has already cost them their most passionate and visible supporter.
