Wow what a great read, and very surprising, to me at least.
For those who don't subscribe, Tyler Parsons, at the end of this past season was not feeling like himself and his mom convinced him not to fly to Calgary for development camp. He reached out to the Flames and now in a relatively short period of time he's back on track and feeling better than ever. The article goes into much more detail obviously.

“He goes, ‘I have to go, Mom,'” said Kim. “I said, ‘I don’t care. You’re not going. Call the guys who sent you the ticket and leave them a message that you’re not getting on a plane.’ That’s exactly what we did. I called the (Flames) and said, ‘I’m not putting him on a plane … when he’s feeling like this. And then for him to be in a hotel room by himself for a week? No.’ We turned around and we went home.
