Carey Price reveals his personal struggles with alcohol addiction

Carey Price, former Montreal Canadiens goaltender, recently shared his journey to sobriety on the UnHammered podcast with Brantt Myhres, a former NHL enforcer.

Reflecting on his struggles with alcohol addiction, Price revealed how the pressures of professional hockey and the demands of a high-stress environment contributed to his challenges.

However, as his career progressed and responsibilities grew, particularly with the arrival of his family, Price began to reassess his priorities.

Price's introspection deepened as he questioned the impact of alcohol abuse on his professional performance and personal life.

Ultimately, the realization led Price to seek treatment, a decision he made following the 2021 Stanley Cup Finals and subsequent surgery, acknowledging the added stressors that pushed him to take action.

Throughout his journey, Price expressed gratitude for the support of his family and the understanding of former Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin, who played a pivotal role during this challenging period.

Acknowledging the complexities of sobriety, Price highlighted the personal growth and fulfillment he has found, particularly in his role as a father.
