Retired NHL player, Rich Pilon, grew up in the Metis community of St. Louis
Saskatchewan.
Rich nearly lost his career due to injury but found a way to get back on the ice. In that time off, he found cocaine and his addiction had him.
He ended his 1.5 million dollar a year career in the NHL because it was getting in the way of his using.
His addiction spiraled until he saw no other escape but to end it all
After his failed attempt, his eyes were opened, and he reached inward and asked for help.
In this episode Rich talked to me about what it was like growing up in disfunction, how the fear of losing his identity as a professional hockey player pushed him to addiction which ultimately end his career, and what his healing journey looks like today with now 20 years in recovery.
