Smashing the stigma: NHL and mental health

In depth article (paywall? might be unlocked) from The Athletic's Katie Strang about changes in NHL culture allowing players to come forward with their mental health issues. Similar to soldiering through playoffs with injuries, in the past players were expected to stay "mum" about their emotional/mental struggles. Now with a few guys who have come out (including above) about their struggles, and #BellLetsTalk and other endeavors, it's become more acceptable to admit you are not in control of everything in your life.
