Hockey 2 Hell and Back

Brady connects with a new friend and current pro hockey player and mental health advocate Kevin Raine. Formerly the captain of the OHL's Sudbury Wolves and he also captured 3 championships including the OHL, AHL and EIHL respectively. This episode will be a hard hitting conversation mostly revolving around mental health in hockey! Live February 15, 2021 On Facebook, Youtube and Twitter Audio will be available on all platforms immediately after the episode. Brought to you on The Puck Support Podcast Network www.pucksupport.com @pucksupport “I have struggled with depression and anxiety, and I have carried that along for quite some time — I would say as far back as junior,” said the Dryden, Ont. native, now 27 and coming off a three-year run with the Belfast Giants of the Elite Ice Hockey League in the U.K. “There came a time for me where I wanted to get to the root of why I was anxious, or why I was upset, and that led me to deciding OK, I’m going to sit with somebody, to tell them how I feel and they’re going to professionally tell me why I might be feeling that way.” Once he did open up, some solutions almost seemed almost obvious: Eat better, get more sleep. Other, more weighty topics, required a lot more discussion, but he found it was worth the effort.
