Cracknell, a native of Prince Albert, Saskatchewan, appeared in 44 games for the Vancouver Canucks during the 2015-16 season where he put up ten points (five goals, five assists), 14 penalty minutes and was a plus-one. At the end of February 2016, the Canucks placed Cracknell on waivers and the next day, he was claimed by the Edmonton Oilers.
Last season, the 39-year-old suited up for 59 games with the AHL's Henderson Silver Knights, recording 35 points (18 goals, 17 assists), ten penalty minutes and was a minus-nine.
Given Cracknell's age, it's going to be interesting to see if this is his final season of professional hockey or if he'll give it another go in 2025-26, potentially back here in North America.
