Jack Flaman and Carson MacKinnon grew up in different parts of Canada. | SaltWire
MacKinnon’s sister, Emily LeBritton, was diagnosed with MS in 2018 and Flaman’s brother, Michael Flaman, was diagnosed in 2020. After the teams played in November, MacKinnon asked Flaman about Michael and Flaman asked MacKinnon about LeBritton. The two players continued exchanging text messages and knew they wanted to work together on a project.MS is a chronic autoimmune disease of the central nervous system. It can affect vision, memory, balance and mobility. Currently, there is no cure.
“When you go to prep school at such a young age, you build pretty close friendships with people there and Jack was someone that I connected with right away,” MacKinnon said. “He was someone that I looked up to.” Axemen associate coach Kris MacDonald, a Orwell, P.E.I., native, helped organize his recruiting trip to Wolfville.He said it has been great to play against and reconnect with MacKinnon in the Atlantic University Sport.
“I know one day it’s going to come to an end,” he said. “I am looking forward to being a teacher then and hopefully joining the hockey industry from a coaching standpoint.”Flaman said his brother, who recently turned 29, is married to Holly and they are in the process of taking over the family’s dairy farm in Vibank.“One day he was starting to lose vision in one eye and after a few tests it came back that he had MS. We really didn’t know a lot about the disease at the time.
