Carey Price opens up about what he was addicted to and why he chose to go public with his struggles
The Montreal Canadiens have been through a lot as an organization after they had a special run to the cup in 2021, to the loss to the Tampa Bay Lightning and then losing Dominique Ducharme as a coach, there remained one constant they counted on, they lost.
Carey Price is a legendary goaltender, who has never won a cup but has spent his entire career in Montreal, explains the situation:
During his time in Montreal, he has faced a lot of adversity being a great goaltender in what could be considered many lackluster teams. The pressure builds up, which no doubt led to his alcoholism and lack of satisfaction with his career in 2021.
He then went into context about how having a year of sobriety would be able to give him the comfort and clarity to share his experiences and talk with former teammate Nate Thompson about the issues they shared with substance abuse.
Price had admitted himself into a rehab facility, on Thursday, October 7th with help of the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program.
Since then, he's become an advocate to help other people within the First Nations and with NHL Players to be a positive influence for people with the same issues.
