Galchenyuk Enters Player Assistance Program After Arrest
Former NHL Star Apologizes
After Being Arrested Last Week
Former NHL star Alex Galchenyuk has entered the NHL and NHLPAs player assistance program after being arrested last week, sources told ESPN. Galchenyuk has apologized for his actions.
On July 1, the first day of NHL free agency, the Coyotes announced they were bringing back forward Galchenyuk for his third stint with the team. Galchenyuk was a first-round pick by the Montreal Canadiens in 2012 and has also played for the Arizona Coyotes and Minnesota Wild.
Galchenyuk's arrest is the latest in a series of incidents involving NHL players and substance abuse. In recent years, several players have been suspended or entered treatment programs for drug or alcohol-related issues.
The NHL and NHLPA have taken steps to address the issue of substance abuse among players, including implementing a mandatory education program and providing access to treatment resources. However, the problem persists, and Galchenyuk's arrest is a reminder that it is a serious issue that needs to be addressed.
