Thought they would announce beforehand what he was ill with before he did pass. Comes off shocking to read this.
What a rough year for the organization. Kings illness and now death, Snow's ALS diagnose, and now this illness putting a pause to the season. It's been a rollercoaster of emotions for those in the org. you would figure.
RIP.

Condolences to his family. Was an immense figure in Calgary.

I didn't even know he was sick... I'm heartbroken by this news. Thoughts and prayers to the King family.

Yep. Shook his hand in New Jersey for the same reason. My hand recovered about a week later. Dude had a firm handshake.
Big loss for the organization, and of course, his family.

Tragic news. RIP Ken. He had so many humorous stories, and I thought he represented the Flames well.

During the offseason or right before the season started there was a ticket holder thing where they made mention of him flying a lot recently and they were going to release some more information in the future.
When they didn't release anything, I sort of felt it was bad news.
