The Los Angeles Kings are offering to fly a young Edmonton Oilers fan out to cheer on her team in Game 6 this weekend. Normally, hockey clubs don’t encourage fans of rival teams to attend games — let alone fly them out — but this situation was anything but normal.

There was an uproar on social media this week after Cecily Eklund was harassed at Game 3 in L.A. on Friday. Cecily is a cancer survivor and has dedicated her life to raising money for other children dealing with the disease.

Through the Ben Stelter Fund’s Magical Experience program, she was gifted the trip to L.A. But part of the trip turned out less than magical when she was swore at and spit on during the game, according to Cecily’s mother Cathy.

Oiler Evander Kane, who calls Cecily his dear friend, brought attention to the incident on social media Tuesday. “This type of behaviour is gross and completely unacceptable,” he wrote on Instagram. “Grow up, and as this smart young lady always says, be kind.” In a statement to Global News, the Kings said a staff member found the family at Game 5 on Tuesday and had “a great conversation.” “(They) also spoke again by phone yesterday as we offered to bring them out to LA for Game 6,” said the club. “Either way we are going to support the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation with our auction proceeds from Game 6 on Saturday,” the statement said.

Chief Justice Roberts says Supreme Court can do more to 'adhere to the highest standards'

the Supreme Court can do to "adhere to the highest standards" of ethical conduct, an acknowledgment that recent reporting about the justices' ethical missteps is having an effect on public perception of the court.Speaking at a law dinner Tuesday where he was honored with an award, Roberts provided no specifics but said the justices "are continuing to look at the things we can do to give practical effect to that commitment."He said he is "confident there are ways to do that consistent with our status as an independent branch of government and the Constitution’s separation of powers."The court has resisted adopting an ethics code of its own, and Roberts has raised questions about whether Congress could impose a code of conduct on the court.All nine justices recently signed a statement of ethics that Roberts provided to the Senate Judiciary Committee. His remarks Tuesday suggested he knows that statement is not enough to quiet critics.Supreme Court Chief Justice John Roberts attends President Joe Bidens State of the Union address in the House Chamber of the U.S.

Jersey Shore restaurant protecting its 'Taco Tuesday' trademark from fast food giant

SOMERS POINT, N.J. - "Taco Tuesday" is a phrase that's become nationally known for weekly specials at bars and restaurants, but one Jersey Shore eatery claims it coined the term and it has the trademark to prove it.Owners of Gregory's Restaurant in Somers Point will tell visitors that it's the birthplace of "Taco Tuesday." Those catchy words first made an appearance over 40 years ago in the summer of 1979. "The first night we sold 15 orders, now we have served over 2M tacos in these 40-some years," Co-owner Gregory Gregory said. The longstanding restaurant trademarked the term "Taco Tuesday" in 1982, way before it gained fame on Twitter and Instagram or became a special at your favorite taco joint. MORE LOCAL HEADLINESSince then, Gregory's Restaurant is the only business in New Jersey that can legally use the term in advertising. The Taco John's chain has the trademark for all other 49 states. But now, Taco Bell - a multi-billion dollar fast food giant with a marketing department that once concocted the Taco Bell Chihuahua - is making a push to strip the trademark.They filed paperwork with the U.S.
