Wholesome Ken King story:
I cancelled my season tickets with the flames 2 seasons ago, and when they asked why I wrote back a pretty scathing email about how I was not a fan of how they were handling the arena situation, and specifically KK's public statements on the matter. I thought that would be the end of it and didnt really think anything of it
About a week later I am sitting at my desk and my phone rings, and it's Ken King calling. He spent about 45 minutes on the phone with me, a former nosebleed STH, talking about a whole bunch of topics I never thought I would with the CEO of the Flames.
While he didn't change my mind about the subject of the arena, I gained an incredible amount of respect for the man and am very sad to hear he lost his battle with cancer. From the sounds of it my experience isn't isolated and he was a great person and businessman, RIP
