Calgary Flames goaltending coach Jordan Sigalet was diagnosed with MS when he was a junior at Bowling Green. He said he will reach out to Carolina Hurricanes' Bryan Bickell, who has been diagnosed with the same disease. "I know first-hand what Bryan is going through and it comes as a shock at such a young age when you are an elite athlete and in the prime of your life," Sigalet told ESPN.com. "For me, it was great to have my teammates and family around for support and to keep a positive attitude and outlook. The disease is so different for everyone but there are so many great treatments and resources available today that can help manage the disease. My thoughts go out to him and his family and wish him nothing but the best."
