VIDEO: Former Player Discusses Toxic OHL Experience


It seems easy to forget, but junior hockey players are still young adolescents. They're teenagers who happen to be in the public eye, which is not a traditional experience. These players are still growing as individuals and their struggles and hardships are not often discussed or exposed. Until now.

Last month, Eric Guest came out and said that he was forced to use cocaine by former teammates while he was a member of the Kitchener Rangers. Although these players' identities have not been revealed, they have already been drafted to the NHL.

Guest has released a video stating the reasons why he quit playing hockey and left the OHL.
