The recent signing of former Buffalo Sabres defenseman Mark Pysyk by the Calgary Flames has piqued the curiosity of fans, not just about his on-ice skills but also about his off-ice life.

In particular, the spotlight is on Oakley May Dale, Pysyk's wife. Here's a closer look at May Dale and the details of her life.

Oakley May Dale was born to Lynn and Ron Dale on November 23, 1991, in Edmonton, Canada. She is one of two children in the Dale family, and her brother, Brodie Dale, married Hope Kilbach in 2021.

Oakley Dale was a competitive hip-hop dancer in high school and later joined the NHL cheerleading squad, the Oilers Octane, for the Edmonton Oilers franchise. Her involvement with the Octane included participation in various community outreach programs.
