Hockey family, one of my former @LAKingsIceCrew teammates has received a Stage 4 cancer diagnosis - it’s still hard to believe one of the sweetest people is now starting her toughest battle. A @gofundme has been set up for her and her family to help with all kinds of things from treatment to meals to childcare for her 3 kiddos.

I have an embarrassing question…
How come some people aren’t using headphones on planes & are listening to phones or iPad at full volume?! Am I just old and sensitive?
If I don’t have mine, I don’t use the volume.
(This is excluding parents trying to calm kids down)
I moved to a small town outside Columbus when I was 1 and left for Alaska at 7. Ohio is where I first fell in love with hockey, watching the Columbus Chill and seeing how much the game meant there.
Having the opportunity to sign with the Blue Jackets means a lot. I’m ready to get to work and give everything I have to this organization.
Here’s me playing hockey in my room in Lancaster, Ohio.
One of my favorite parts of this cup run was watching all the @TrippTracy and @mikemaniscalco clips online. Literally adore this duel.
Tripp says “Pinch me..” and Mike literally gives a pinch. Like, come on. Adorbs. Congrats, guys!
Our NHL Alumni family is deeply saddened by the passing of Kyle Calder.
Today, we mourn not only a respected former NHL player but a cherished teammate, friend, and member of our hockey brotherhood. Kyle embodied the values that make our alumni family so special: his loyalty, toughness, generosity, and an unwavering commitment to those around him. He was tough as nails on the ice, a fierce competitor who never backed down, yet behind that grit was a teddy bear heart. Kyle cared deeply for his teammates, friends, and everyone fortunate enough to know him. He was a protector, a loyal friend, and someone who always put others before himself.
A proud Alberta native, Kyle enjoyed a successful 10-year NHL career with the Chicago Blackhawks, Philadelphia Flyers, Detroit Red Wings, Los Angeles Kings, and Anaheim Ducks. Over the course of his 590 career games, he earned the respect of teammates, opponents, and fans alike through his relentless work ethic, determination, and character.
Beyond his playing days, Kyle was devoted to giving back to the game he loved. He was actively involved in youth hockey and passionate about helping young players develop both on and off the ice. He took great pride in mentoring the next generation, and his impact on young athletes and their families will continue to be felt for years to come.
Kyle will be greatly missed and forever remembered by our NHL Alumni Hockey family. The friendships he built, the lives he touched, and the memories he created will remain with us always.
As Kyle often said, “Family over everything.” Those words were not just something he believed; they were the way he lived his life. His family was the centre of his universe, and his love, devotion, and pride in them were evident in everything he did.
Our love, thoughts, prayers, and unwavering support are with the Calder family during this incredibly difficult time. We hope they find comfort in knowing how deeply Kyle was respected, admired, and loved by so many throughout the hockey community.
Forever a teammate. Forever a member of our NHL Alumni family. Forever in our hearts. Never forgotten. ❤️🏒
