Almost mandatory though. You cant go it alone. As soon as he told someone, in this case his mom, people understood, which is also grounds for applause.
You know, I have to imagine that being a pro-athlete isnt easy. Lots of pressure constantly. It might become easier once you're established and have a place and a contract, but being a pro-prospect has to be intensely rough on your mind.
I'd hope that the mentality of teams and organizations understand that. These are kids fighting for their futures and their dreams.
I'm glad the Flames were supportive.
I often love the hockey/human side of this organization, I wish I could love the business side as well.
