When it comes to hockey, the Calgary Flames’ T.J. Brodie knows the battle he faces every time he steps on the ice.
But now, the defenceman and his fiancée are taking on a different kind of fight, off the ice.
Brodie’s fiancée, Amber De Bakker, was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) last October.
It came as a shock for the couple, who grew up together in Ontario.
“I didn’t know how to react,” Brodie said. “I didn’t know exactly what it was or how it affects you or how quick it happens.”
