Meteor stop subscription if change route

I have two routes with two templates. In one of them, the user subscribe to a collection after clicking a button. 

 'click #play' : function() {

    Meteor.call('create_game', this._id, function(error, result){
      Meteor.subscribe('game', result);
     });
 }

What I want to perform is to stop the subscription if the user change route. I could have used the function waitOn of Iron-Router, then the subscription will be cancelled if the user changes route but I want to start the subscription only if the user click not if he just routes.

When you call Meteor.subscribe, you get a subscription handle as the return value. This handle has a stop() method that you can call whenever you want to stop a subscription. So what you probably want to do is save this handle somewhere and call it when the route changes:

handle = Meteor.subscribe(...);

In an Iron Router callback:

handle.stop();
