Edmonton would vote wayne gretsky hands down.
That ghost of an edmonton hockey player.

He's in their "SUN" newspaper every day.

He's at least mentioned 8 times daily and the 
clueless basterds superimpose his numbers on irrevalent
pictures in the tabloid in what looks like a collectem picture for a
future contest or whatever.

Anyway, I think edmonton should play up their mall a bit more,
Because gretsky deserted you 15 years ago.
