Kyle Quincey: From NHL Glory to Battling Addiction and Finding Hope
“I think talking about it is a huge, huge benefit, personally for me, for sure.”
Ever wondered what happens behind the scenes in the life of a professional hockey player? In this gripping episode of 'Hockey 2 Hell and Back', host Brady Leavold sits down with retired NHL defenseman Kyle Quincey. Quincey, who once dazzled fans with his skills on the ice, now opens up about the darker side of his career.
Originally from Kitchener, Ontario, Quincey's journey took him from the OHL's London Knights to playing over 500 games in the NHL, including stints with the Detroit Red Wings and the Mississauga Ice Dogs. But his story doesn't end with his hockey career. Quincey shares his harrowing experience with addiction to painkillers, particularly Toradol, a drug he and many others were misled to believe was safe.
This episode isn't just about his struggles; it's about resilience and the fight for better mental health awareness in sports. Quincey also touches on personal battles, like his son Axel's fight against brain cancer, and his involvement in charity initiatives like Hockey Fights Cancer and teamaxfoundation.org. If you're looking for a raw, unfiltered look into the challenges athletes face and the power of community and support in recovery, this episode is a must-listen.
