When former NHLer Mark Parrish retired from the NHL after the 2010-2011 season he was set to face one of the biggest challenges of his life. Parrish was heavily drinking and needed to get control of his life again.
Parrish made the decision to get help from a rehab facility in Arizona. The Minnesota native took to his social media to proudly post that he is 4 years sober as of a couple of days ago.
The 47-year-old Parrish, played 722 NHL regular season games, scoring 216 goals and 387 points. He suited up for the Florida Panthers, New York Islanders, LA Kings, Minnesota Wild, Dallas Stars, Tampa Bay Lightning, and Buffalo Sabres during his twelve-year career.
Parrish is currently a broadcaster for the Minnesota Wild, covering pregame, intermission, and postgame.
Everyone at Blade of Steel congratulates Mark on four years sober and wishes him well in his future endeavours!
