Ever wondered what happens when a hockey legend steps off the ice and into the world of mental health advocacy? In this compelling episode of 'Hockey 2 Hell and Back', host Brady Leavold sits down with Canadian hockey icon Kelly Hrudey to discuss life beyond the rink.
Kelly, known for his stellar career as a goaltender with teams like the New York Islanders and Los Angeles Kings, opens up about his journey from professional sports to becoming a vocal advocate for mental health.

The conversation takes a deep dive into the importance of mental health, the role of nature and sports in recovery, and the power of being honest about one's struggles. Kelly shares anecdotes from his time on 'Hockey Night in Canada' and his transition to a full-time analyst role, shedding light on the pressures and expectations that come with being in the public eye.
