Breaking: Sens' Bobby Ryan enters NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program

Ottawa Senators' Bobby Ryan will be taking some time away from the organization indefinitely as he will be taking part in the NHL/NHLPA Assistance Program.

The NHL and National Hockey League Players Association stated on Wednesday and would not comment more.

On Monday, Ryan left practice earlier because we wasn't feeling well, according to D.J. Smith.

Bobby is an important member of the Ottawa Senators family and he has our full suppoert as he tends to this matter. Ottawa GM Pierre Dorion stated in a news release. 

When Ryan was a kid, his father, Bob, physically abused his mother, and while on the run, he dragged Bobby to California and changed their last name to Stevenson.
