I wonder if it was answered earlier in the article or if it's something else.

It’s a radical departure from the mindset he had a year ago when the Flames sent him packing and hockey was the last thing he cared about.

“I played almost ten years in the NHL and if I never play another game there I’m not going to lose any sleep,” said McGrattan from his coastline home.

“I want to enjoy whatever time I have left. A lot of times in the NHL it’s not an enjoyable job. You’re not in the lineup two or three weeks, you get bag-skated and coaches walk by and don’t even look at you. Often you’d go in and see if your equipment is in your stall.

“Those are some of the parts I don’t miss. This year I played in the minors the whole year and I can’t remember having this much fun. It has definitely put a little spark under me, and given me new life.”
I was also surprised to read that Eakins coaches the Gulls. Also great to hear he wears an A on the Gulls team.
