Montour’s Emotional Return to Kraken: A Battle On and Off the Ice After Brother’s Tragic ALS Battle
“He battled hard. It puts everything in perspective with the highs that I’ve had in the last couple years, with winning (the Stanley Cup with the Florida Panthers in 2024) and hockey and having babies and creating my own family. [All that time], he was at home battling. Right until Monday when it happened, he was smiling, and he was ready.”
Montour played 23:39 in his return, and was plus-1 with a team-high three shots on goal.
“He’s a brother,” said Seattle captain Jordan Eberle, who scored twice in the win. “I mean, anytime someone goes through something like that, it’s extremely hard. Just for him to be out here tonight and battling with us, it just shows his compassion and the level that he has… You just try to be there as much as you can for him.”
