Despite what he described as “a good upbringing” in a hockey family, Todd Fedoruk loved two things: fighting and his next high. Always looking for a rush, Fedoruk’s addiction spiraled out of control at the same time that his professional star was rising in the NHL. Tasked as an enforcer on the ice, Fedoruk knew that he liked to party off the ice, but didn’t even realize he had a problem until one day when he broke down during practice.

Fedoruk didn’t take his situation seriously until a doctor told him that, without intervention, his addiction could kill him in a matter of months. Sent to rehab for 28 days and demoted to the depths of the minor leagues, Fedoruk found a winding path to success and sobriety through multiple relapses and recoveries. With a job that took him all over the country, Fedoruk learned how important a strong network of support can be, and that with constant vigilance, it gets better.
