Montour’s Emotional Return to Kraken: A Battle On and Off the Ice After Brother’s Tragic ALS Battle
SEATTLE — Brandon Montour returned to the lineup for the Seattle Kraken in their 3-2 win against the Edmonton Oilers on Saturday from a personal leave of absence following the death of his older brother, Cameron Noble-Montour.
Cameron, who is survived by his wife, two daughters, and a stepdaughter, died Monday after a battle with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, a disease affecting the nervous system more commonly known as ALS. He was 34 years old.
“So, my older brother’s been dealing with ALS for three, four years now, and it was a rough week,” Montour said before the game on Saturday. “I’m very proud and very happy to be his brother. He’s somebody that I’ve looked up to since, obviously, Day 1. [He was] a great son, brother, best friend, father. He’s got two baby girls.
