Wonder what exactly this is? Is it food/nutrition related? Has to be more than just extra Gatorade in the locker room. Doesn’t surprise me at all though given how much of a cheap b ownership is in all other visible senses.
I know a few people in the Flames organization. The players are spoiled. They get breakfast made for them at the Dome. On the road they get per diem, plus the team makes sure breakfast and lunch are provided for the players. The players like doing their own thing for dinner. All pro athletes are spoiled and if they complain they don't get enough free swag that fans pay hundreds of dollars for they can get lost.
