Al Hamilton, Edmonton Oilers Legend | Prostate Cancer Survivor

Al Hamilton isn’t just part of Oilers history—he helped build it. As the first captain of the Edmonton Oilers, he played a key role in shaping the team in its early years, earning the respect of fans and teammates alike. His impact was so lasting that his jersey became the first number ever retired by the franchise.

These days, Al brings that same steady presence to something even more important—men’s health. After facing prostate cancer himself, he’s become a strong voice for awareness and early detection.

Al brings a real, down-to-earth perspective you won’t get from a brochure. He’ll talk about his experience with prostate cancer, what it was like to go through it, and what he wishes more men knew.

Expect an honest conversation, a few stories along the way, and practical takeaways that stick. It’s the kind of talk that makes it easier to pay attention to your own health—and maybe start conversations you’ve been putting off.

This session will be led by Camille Scheible, Director of the MAN VAN ® program, who will moderate a panel of men sharing their personal experiences with prostate cancer and other men’s health challenges.

Through guided conversation, the panel will speak to what it’s really like to face these issues—the impact on their own lives, their families, and what they’ve learned along the way. It’s an honest, grounded discussion that brings real voices into the room.

This is a chance to hear directly from those who have lived it, ask questions, and take away insight that goes beyond information—something practical, human, and worth carrying forward.
