I think these players that are playing for the Collingwood blues over the course of The Next Year, Two, Three Years, however long you're there, are extremely lucky that they get to learn from your experience.
What happens when a tough NHL enforcer trades his skates for a mission to promote mental health? In this episode of 'Hockey 2 Hell and Back', host Brady Leavold sits down with retired NHL guardian Josh Gratton. Known for his fierce on-ice presence, Josh opens up about the battles he faced off the ice, including addiction and mental health struggles.
Brady, who has his own tumultuous history with addiction and incarceration, guides the conversation through the highs and lows of Josh's career and personal life. Together, they explore the impact of concussions, the pressure of professional sports, and the importance of support systems for athletes. Josh shares candid stories from his playing days, his journey to recovery, and how he's now using his experiences to help others in the hockey community.
This episode is a raw and honest look at the unseen challenges faced by those in the spotlight and a testament to the power of resilience and recovery. Whether you're a hockey fan or someone touched by addiction, Josh's story offers valuable insights and hope.
