When I saw my husband on the ice for the first time last fall, skating with so much ease, his body strong and his legs moving how he wanted them to, my breath caught in my chest and tears ran down my cheeks. He shot a puck, and I heard it ping off the crossbar, and it all felt like a miracle.

I didn’t think I’d see that again. Chris, an assistant GM for the Flames, is around hockey every day, but I didn’t think he’d ever skate with our son again, hold a hockey stick again, shoot a puck again.
