Brady Leavold and Robert Frid: From Ice Rinks to Recovery
“We're looking for support for those guys, right? And the amount of pain guys are in too and, like I spoke to earlier, in proper medical care too, and our lack of education too on plant medicines, including cannabis and psilocybin, which you know, Riley Cote is doing an amazing job with all that too, and advocating all over the world, right, we know that.”
Imagine having it all—promising hockey career, adoring fans, and a bright future—only to lose everything to addiction. That's the reality Brady Leavold faced, and in this episode of 'Hockey 2 Hell and Back', he opens up about his tumultuous journey. Joined by guest Robert Frid, Brady shares the raw details of his descent into heroin addiction, homelessness, and eventual incarceration.
The conversation doesn't shy away from the harsh stigma surrounding addiction in the hockey world, but it also shines a light on the hope and healing found through recovery. The duo discusses the potential benefits of plant medicines like cannabis and psilocybin for those battling addiction. Brady's mission with the Puck Support Foundation, aimed at supporting others in the hockey community struggling with similar issues, is also a focal point.
If you're looking for a story of resilience, redemption, and the power of community, this episode is a must-listen.
