Part 2: In our first episode (#103) Aaron Snow came on and shared his hockey journey sharing some great stories and touched on his battles with mental illness and addiction. In part 2 we re-live some of his fun memories of playing in the OHL, being drafted to the NHL but we also dive into the mental part of the game and how some of Aaron’s experiences through Junior hockey impacted him more than he thought. Aaron talks about the ups and downs of a prospects journey from minor hockey, through Jr, being drafted to the NHL and the pressure, stress and work that goes into achieving those goals. Aaron is very open and honest about his past, from mental health to substance abuse he offers some great advice and insight for parents and players who may be battling through some difficult times. He is also very clear that the road to recovery is not a quick fix but is something that he works on every day. I really appreciate Aaron sharing his story in hopes that his hockey journey will resonate and help other players and families going through their journey. We hope you enjoy the episode!
