And just remember if you're watching this and you have a kid that plays hockey and has a dream of playing in the NHL, or maybe you have a girl that has a dream of playing NCAA. Kyle had the courage to stand up right away.
Hockey might be known for its toughness, but what happens when that toughness masks a toxic culture? In this eye-opening episode of 'Hockey 2 Hell and Back', host Brady Leavold sits down with former hockey player Todd Holt to tackle some hard truths. The conversation is sparked by the harrowing allegations made by Kyle Beach, a former Chicago Blackhawks player who bravely revealed his experience of sexual assault by a coach.
Holt, no stranger to trauma himself, shares his own story from his days with the Swift Current Broncos in the late 1980s. His candid recounting of abuse and its long-lasting impact is both heart-wrenching and inspiring. He emphasizes the importance of breaking the silence that has long plagued the sport. Leavold also opens up about his own battles with addiction and mental illness, underscoring the prevalence of these issues in the hockey community.
Together, they stress the need for the NHL and NHLPA to step up and address these deep-rooted problems. This episode isn't just about recounting past horrors; it's a call to action for accountability and change. Holt's words, 'Kyle had the courage to stand up right away', resonate as a powerful reminder of the bravery needed to confront such issues.
