Nice example here from the new Clint Malarchuk book about the efforts Brian Burke makes behind the scenes to help people in need of some assistance.
Some props are due to Burkie overall I think. His stint in Calgary has been pretty non-eventful (in a good sense)so far. He has this team and organization on the right track. And when he brought in Treliving he said he step out of the media spotlight and let his new GM take on that role, and he has been true to his word.

So far, I think a lot of the Burke skeptics have to admit, things are progressing better than expected.

"Malarchuk is open about how difficult the process was, and it is a satisfying reveal. He was the Calgary Flames goaltending coach as he was working on the book, nearing the end. Reliving his past brought back his depression and he drank to self-medicate. With help from Flames GM Brian Burke and the NHL substance abuse program, Malarchuk returned to rehab and has been sober since."
