D. Jay McGrath is a former WHL & College hockey player, who had big dreams to pursue his sport to its highest level. Moving away from home at 15 years old and all the pressures of being an aspiring elite level player in pursuit to the top of his game, led to drugs and alcohol as being his release from the pressures and anxiety he faced. He now has become an advocate and speaker for youth across Saskatchewan and then some to help those struggling know that "It's OK to Not Be OK."
