Scott Darling didn’t have an extended NHL profession. He performed 5 seasons and 126 video games on the Bettman circuit, and has determined to retire at the beginning of the 2020-2021 season.
However you’re in all probability questioning why I’m telling you about Scott Darling on this heat Tuesday in November. Effectively, the previous Hawks and Hurricanes man was on the “What Chaos!” podcast hosted by DJ Bean and Pete Blackburn, and he poured his coronary heart out concerning the NHL’s help program.

Darling has struggled with substance abuse all through his profession and has used the NHL’s participant help program.
The previous goalie additionally says the issue is that the folks operating this system don’t need to assist.
“Should you don’t belief the people who find themselves supposed that will help you, why would you go and ask for assist? And you’ll inform from his phrases that he was actually emotional when he talked about this case.
Scott Darling even advises gamers to hunt help elsewhere as a result of they’re insured.
We don’t know precisely what occurred to Darling when he turned to this system, however to listen to him discuss, he by no means obtained the help he wanted. And if that’s the case, it’s a giant downside. This goes a good distance.
It’s (one other) darkish cloud hanging over the NHL’s head, and the league’s picture is taking one other hit.
