Honestly, like, I've learned so much and grown as a human being from those experiences, and I'm so grateful
What happens when a young hockey star's career is derailed by addiction? In this episode of 'Hockey 2 Hell and Back,' host Brady Leavold chats with former NHL player Gilbert Brule, whose journey from the ice to the depths of addiction and back is nothing short of remarkable. Brule, once hailed as the best 1987-born player from Western Canada, opens up about his meteoric rise in the hockey world and the pressures that came with it.
He shares candidly about how injuries and the pressure to perform led him down a dark path of Oxycontin, heroin, and fentanyl addiction. But Brule's story isn't just about struggle; it's about resilience and the power of recovery. He talks about the people who stood by him and the lessons he's learned along the way. Now playing for the Sparta Warriors in Norway, Brule's love for hockey has never faded.
His story is a powerful reminder that even in our darkest moments, there's always a way back to the light.
