For a year and a half, Oliver Kylington wasn’t much in the news. He wasn’t playing for the Flames, and he wasn’t in the news.
Why am I telling you all this about a guy who doesn’t necessarily get a lot of attention in Quebec? Because if he managed to get back into the game, it took some big changes in his life.
Obviously, he didn’t go into the details of what happened to bring it to this point. However, it’s safe to say that it was a heartbreaking choice.
I don’t need any more distractions in my life. – Oliver Kylington
The most important thing is that he feels better. After that, the fact that he’s made decisions to bring about change in his life (both personally and by signing with the Avalanche) will undoubtedly help him to change.
But it’s still big. Did his parents touch his money (like Jack Johnson) or are we talking about a lack of support for him, for example? Who knows.

In response to several people reaching out about their mental health stories and the value of speaking up, Patrik and Jordan created From Us to You to continue the conversation. If you have a story, you can reach out to them. That can be anonymous as well. #CBJ
