After four months in the middle of the collective bargaining agreement battle as the Calgary Flames players’ association representative, Stajan happily was back being just a player when he took the ice Wednesday at the WinSport Ice Complex.
“It’s not something I wished to have gone through, but I learned a lot,” Stajan said. “And I was happy to represent our team that way.”
