==Early life==
  
−
Ferland was born April 20, 1992, in [[Swan River, Manitoba]].<ref name="NHLStats" /> He is the middle of three children – he has an older sister and a younger brother – raised alone by his mother Dianne who worked as a dietary aide at a nursing home in Swan River.<ref name="HeraldProfile">{{cite news |last=Odland |first=Kristen |title=Ferland completes long road to big league debut |work=Calgary Herald |date=2014-11-01 |page=D4}}</ref> Michael played house league hockey from age eight to 15 before earning the attention of the [[minor hockey|midget AAA]] Brandon Wheat Kings; he was given a try-out and earned a place with the team.<ref name="WJHCProfile">{{cite news |last=Hall |first=Vicki |title=Beating the odds; Flames prospect Michael Ferland is living his dream at World Juniors selection camp thanks to his mother's hard work and sacrifice |work=Calgary Herald |date=2011-12-12 |page=D1}}</ref> Dianne struggled to fund her son's hockey dream; she required support from charities such as KidSport and the Manitoba Métis Foundation to help pay for his equipment. Dianne also credited her eldest daughter, Samantha, who was never able to play competitive sports herself as the family was unable to support more than one child in the sport.<ref name="HeraldProfile" /> When Michael made the midget Wheat Kings team, the parents of his Swan River teammates helped pay his enrollment fees.<ref name="WJHCProfile" />

==Playing career==

At age 17, Ferland joined the [[junior hockey|major junior]] [[Brandon Wheat Kings]] of the [[Western Hockey League]] (WHL).<ref name="WJHCProfile" /> He scored 9 goals and 28 points in 61 games during the [[2009–10 WHL season|2009–10 regular season]].<ref name="NHLStats">{{cite web |url=http://www.nhl.com/ice/player.htm?id=8475907 |title=Michael Ferland player card |publisher=National Hockey League |accessdate=2014-10-30}}</ref> He also appeared in 15 playoff games for Brandon, and played an additional five in the [[2010 Memorial Cup]].<ref name="NHLStats" /> The [[Calgary Flames]] selected him with their fifth round pick, 133rd overall, at the [[2010 NHL Entry Draft]].<ref name="LivelyPlay">{{cite news |last=Cruickshank |first=Scott |title=Determined Ferland's lively play turns heads |work=Calgary Herald |date=2013-09-09 |page=D3}}</ref> Ferland remained with Brandon for the following two seasons where he recorded 56 points in [[2010–11 WHL season|2010–11]] then finished ninth in WHL scoring with 96 points in [[2011–12 WHL season|2011–12]].<ref name="NHLStats" /><ref>{{cite book |editor-last=Watts |editor-first=Jesse |title=2013–14 WHL Guide |publisher=Western Hockey League |year=2013 |page=212}}</ref>

In the off-season prior to the 2012–13 season, Ferland was charged with assault following a bar fight in [[Cochrane, Alberta]].<ref>{{cite news |last=Martin |first=Kevin |url=http://www.calgarysun.com/2014/06/12/girlfriend-of-calgary-flames-prospect-michael-ferland-defends-sucker-punched-claim |title=Girlfriend of Calgary Flames’ prospect Michael Ferland defends "sucker punched" claim |work=Calgary Sun |date=2014-06-12 |accessdate=2014-10-30}}</ref> He began his professional career as he awaited trial as the Flames assigned Ferland to their [[American Hockey League]] (AHL) affiliate, the [[Abbotsford Heat]]. He arrived to training camp in poor condition and struggled with Abbotsford. After seven games, he was demoted to the [[ECHL]]'s [[Utah Grizzlies]] for just three games before the Flames returned him to junior hockey and the Brandon Wheat Kings.<ref name="SecondChance">{{cite news |last=Gilbertson |first=Wes |url=http://www.calgarysun.com/2013/09/07/calgary-flames-michael-ferland-gets-a-second-chance |title=Calgary Flames' Michael Ferland gets a second chance |work=Calgary Sun |date=2013-09-07 |accessdate=2014-10-30}}</ref> His stay with the Wheat Kings was similarly short as Brandon traded Ferland to the [[Saskatoon Blades]]; as he struggled, the 20-year-old Ferland became discouraged and considered quitting hockey entirely.<ref name="LivelyPlay" /> Ferland persevered and played a pivotal role with the Blades as they won 18 consecutive games and reached the [[2013 Memorial Cup]].<ref name="SecondChance" />

The Flames worked with Ferland throughout as they attempted to guide his career forward. During the 2012–13 season, coach [[Bob Hartley]] connected Ferland with former NHL and fellow aboriginal player [[Gino Odjick]] to help his transition to professional hockey.<ref name="SunProfileNov23" /> Ferland returned to Abbotsford for the [[2013–14 AHL season]] 24 pounds lighter than the 234 pounds he weighed the previous season.<ref name="SecondChance" /> He recorded 18 points in 25 games for the Heat before suffering a knee injury on December 12, 2013 that ended his season.<ref>{{cite news |last=Peterson |first=Torie |url=http://flames.nhl.com/club/news.htm?id=701310 |title=Ferland to miss the rest of the season due to injury |publisher=Calgary Flames Hockey Club |date=2014-01-19 |accessdate=2014-10-30}}</ref> Ferland's assault charge proceeded to trial over the summer and a jury found that he had acted in self-defence in acquitting him.<ref>{{cite news |last=Slade |first=Darryl |url=http://www.calgaryherald.com/news/calgary/Flames+prospect+cleared+assault+charges+jury/9947687/story.html |title=Flames prospect cleared of assault charges by jury |work=Calgary Herald |date=2014-06-17 |accessdate=2014-10-30}}</ref>

Ferland had been considered a candidate to be recalled to Calgary prior to suffering his knee injury; the team had intended to recall him to the Flames as a reward for his work in Abbotsford at the time he was hurt.<ref name="SunProfileNov23" /> After returning to health in time for the team's training camp prior to the [[2014–15 NHL season]], Ferland continued to impress the team's coaches with both his scoring ability and physical play.<ref>{{cite news |last=Gilbertson |first=Wes |title=Ferland on fire |work=Calgary Sun |date=2014-09-29 |accessdate=2014-10-30 |page=S3}}</ref> He did not make the roster out of camp; he was assigned to the [[Adirondack Flames]] to start the season. He led Adirondack with four goals and five assists in nine games when an injury to [[Mikael Backlund]] led the Flames to recall Ferland to Calgary on October 30, 2014.<ref>{{Cite news |url=http://www.tsn.ca/flames-place-f-backlund-on-ir-1.120783 |title=Flames place F Backlund on IR |publisher=The Sports Network |date=2014-10-30 |accessdate=2014-10-30}}</ref> He made his NHL debut the following night in a 4–3 victory over the [[Nashville Predators]], but was himself injured and missed the following eight games after being hit with an elbow to the head by [[Anton Volchenkov]].<ref name="SunProfileNov23">{{cite news |last=Gilbertson |first=Wes |title=Battle tested |work=Calgary Sun |date=2014-11-23 |pages=S4–S5}}</ref> Volchenkov received a four game suspension for the hit.<ref>{{cite news |url=http://www.cbc.ca/sports-content/hockey/nhl/article/20141102175832992447808/ |title=Predators D Volchenkov suspended for 4 games |publisher=Canadian Broadcasting Corporation |date=2014-11-02 |accessdate=2014-11-27}}</ref> Ferland recorded his first NHL point on November 22, 2014, with an assist on a goal by [[Josh Jooris]] in a 5–4 victory over the [[New Jersey Devils]].<ref>{{cite news |last=Gilbertson |first=Wes |title=No deal, Devils |work=Calgary Sun |date=2014-11-23 |accessdate=2014-11-27}}</ref>
