Brady Leavold and Dan Murphy Talk Mental Health in Hockey

I keep uncovering stories, just in the hockey community, of hockey players who have overdosed or taken their own life... You know, being in jail, murph, you want to talk about that- and mental illness and addiction, and guys that can't even read or write their own name, or years old, that are just in this cycle of getting in, going out and just, and they're all mentally ill and not getting the help that they need.
Ever wondered what happens when the ice melts and the skates come off? In this episode of 'Hockey 2 Hell and Back', Brady Leavold sits down with Dan Murphy from Sportsnet to share some raw and real stories. Brady, a former NHL hopeful, opens up about his journey from the highs of professional hockey to the lows of addiction and homelessness.
He talks candidly about hitting rock bottom and how he clawed his way back to a life of purpose and advocacy. Dan Murphy, known for his insightful sports commentary, joins the conversation, bringing his perspective on mental health in the hockey world. They discuss the challenges players face off the ice, the stigma surrounding mental health, and the urgent need for better support systems.
This episode isn't just for hockey fans; it's for anyone who believes in second chances and the power of speaking up. Tune in for an honest conversation that sheds light on the often-hidden struggles behind the sport.
