Default Ken King has passed away

Calgary Flames @NHLFlames
CSEC ownership, management, and staff are sad to announce the passing of our former President & CEO and our current Vice Chair Ken King.

He was our leader and our friend and he will be greatly missed.

What the heck? From what??

Still remember chatting with him in Detroit before a flames game. Guy made a point of going around the Joe Louis rink to shake hands with all the flames fans and thank them for coming. Heck of a guy.

RIP.

Condolences to Ken King’s family, friends, the Ownership group, players, staff. and anyone that knew Mr. King.

Seems so sudden and unexpected.
