Kylington's journey is inspiring, as the former second-round pick took over a year off from hockey to focus on his mental health in Sweden. Details about his situation remain scarce, but the Flames were praised for supporting him throughout the ordeal before he signed with the Avalanche this offseason.
In a recent interview, Kylington revealed that he made the significant personal decision to cut ties with his parents to continue improving his mental health.
It's evident that Kylington faced major challenges in his personal life, but now, free of distractions, he's focused on helping the Avalanche make a run for the Stanley Cup in the 2024-25 season.
Though we may never know the full story behind Kylington's struggles, we hope his decision positively impacts his NHL career.
