The new year has ushered in some positives for the Calgary Flames. They won their first game of 2024 which saw Jonathan Huberdeau snapping his goalless skid, and now, one more piece of good news. Oliver Kylington is looking like he’s ready to make his return. He’s been assigned to the Calgary Wranglers for a conditioning stint—a fairly standard procedure for players returning to play after missing extended action.
Kylington speaks out
The Flames have given Kylington full support throughout his absence. Now that he’s returning to hockey, Kylington will have a chance to build on his previous campaign where he broke out as a defenceman that added much-needed speed to the Flames’ blueline.
Here’s what Kylington had to say about his imminent return to hockey:
I feel I’m in a good place with my mental health and ready to take another step forward. Returning to Calgary has been the right decision. I’ve felt tremendous commitment from Flames ownership, management, and my teammates, and I am aprpeciate of the support and resources made available to me. I also thank my family, friends, and the fans for their encouragement. I’m looking forward to getting on the ice in a team environment and back to my everyday life. I have missed it very much.
Oliver Kylington
All the best for Kylington
Kylington skated with the Flames a few weeks ago, showing plenty of promising signs on his return. Now, a month later, it’s official. Here’s to wishing all the best for Kylington as he gets back to it!
