I still have trouble digesting how aggressively my life has been overcapacitated by a steady flow of drugs and crime.
Ever wondered what happens when a hockey star faces the toughest battles off the ice? In this episode of 'Hockey 2 Hell and Back', host Brady Leavold chats with WHL and Minor Pro legend Kimbi Daniels. Known for his record-breaking 7-goal game with the Swift Current Broncos and winning the Memorial Cup in 1989, Kimbi's career took a dramatic turn due to a degenerative knee condition.
Drafted by the Flyers in 1990, he played only 27 NHL games before shifting to a successful minor league career, eventually retiring in Anchorage, Alaska. But it's not just about stats and trophies. Kimbi opens up about his struggles with addiction and the impact of childhood trauma. He shares candid stories about his journey to recovery, emphasizing the importance of honesty, self-care, and forgiveness. This episode isn't just for hockey fans; it's for anyone facing life's hurdles.
Kimbi's insights into the role of support systems and the hockey community offer a powerful reminder that recovery is a team effort. Brady also shares his second journal entry from his time incarcerated in 2019, adding another layer of raw, personal experience to the conversation. Whether you're navigating your own challenges or supporting someone who is, this episode provides a heartfelt look at resilience and redemption.
