A real jerk thing
I do feel there’s a bit of Tommy being a guy that was traumatized by that, on top of already being an asshole. It’s part of what makes him a complicated figure, which is good.
He works at Golf Galaxy in Robinson.What's JS Aubin doing these days?

I don't know if this is true or not, but if it is...just how?
The dude played professional hockey in North America for 12 years, was in the NHL for a majority of like 7 of those years and then played an additional 6 years of pro hockey in Europe. Why does he need to work at Golf Galaxy?

Not sure if it applies to him, but athletes making millions and going bankrupt is a tale as old as time. Extremely sad but true.
Cap Friendly says he earned roughly $4.5 million as a player. So take home after taxes and agent around $3 mil?Could also just be to keep himself busy. Or maybe it's benefits related? Not sure how ex-players may be compensated insurance-wise.

"I'm responsible to repair customers golf clubs. So, I replace worn grips with new ones. I do extensions on shafts or cut them if they are too long. I change shafts if they are broken. And I fit customers for the right golf clubs. I also work as a salesperson if help is needed."
Man, the post sporting life “where are they now” segments are just getting grimmer and grimmer.
So I just looked this up on Linkedin and...yup. He works at Golf Galaxy.
The problem is that an athlete's career is short and the money is really good when you get it. If you think of that $3M as an annuity you can yield $100K/year or something like that. But when you're probably taking home 4-5x that amount...very tempting to live like it. Especially when you're early-mid 20s.
Makes sense to grab a low stress job post-NHL career. Some people need to stay busy.
