Rich Clune: Balancing Hockey Stardom and Addiction Recovery

I just knew that if I said one thing, One Year, Two Years Later, I'm going to be sitting there saying I have no idea what I was talking about.
Ever wondered how a professional athlete balances the pressures of their sport with the challenges of addiction? In this compelling episode, Alex Colyer sits down with Rich Clune, the Captain of the Toronto Marlies, to talk about his documentary 'Hi, My Name is Dicky'. The film takes an unflinching look at Clune's life on and off the ice, diving deep into his struggles with addiction and the duality of living two lives.
Clune opens up about the moment he accepted his addiction and how it changed everything for him. He credits the unwavering support of his family and friends as crucial to his recovery journey. This conversation isn't just about hockey or addiction; it's about breaking down the stigma that often surrounds mental health and addiction issues. Clune's story is a testament to resilience and the power of a supportive community.
Whether you're battling addiction yourself, supporting someone who is, or simply interested in the human stories behind addiction, this episode offers a heartfelt and inspiring perspective. Tune in to hear how Clune navigates his dual roles and find out what keeps him grounded.
