Nobody else is doing it, so we're going to do it.
Imagine reaching the peak of your professional dreams only to have it all come crashing down due to addiction. That’s the reality Brady Leavold faced. In this gripping episode of 'Hockey 2 Hell and Back', Brady opens up about his own journey from the NHL to the depths of heroin addiction, homelessness, and eventually, recovery.
Joined by former teammates Matt Thompson, Matt Puntureri, and Chris Lawrence, they pay tribute to their late friend Matthew Lesczsynski, another player whose life was tragically cut short by addiction. The conversation isn’t just about the past; it’s a heartfelt discussion on the importance of mental health and the challenges athletes face both on and off the ice. The episode dives into the creation of the Puck Support Foundation, a lifeline for athletes struggling with addiction and mental health issues.
Brady and his guests talk candidly about their experiences, shedding light on the darker side of professional sports and the ongoing battle many face. This episode is a must-listen for anyone touched by addiction or mental health struggles. It’s not just about hockey; it’s about resilience, support, and finding hope in the darkest times. Tune in for a raw and real conversation that underscores the importance of community and remembering those we've lost.
