Mental Health Mondays with Clint Malarchuk
Clint Malarchuk joined us on Gouche Live this past Monday for a special edition of Mental Health Mondays. Clint shared his incredible journey with us, from the highs to lows, we got up, close and personal with Clint. He played 338 games in the NHL for the Quebec Nordiques, Washington Capitals and Buffalo Sabres between 1981 and 1992.
Malarchuk is known for surviving a life-threatening injury during a 1989 NHL game when Steve Tuttle's skate blade sliced his carotid artery and partially sliced his jugular vein, causing immediate massive blood loss. Malarchuk and his wife now travel North America telling their story and helping retired athletes who are suffering with mental health, OCD, and depression. Malarchuk released an autobiography called The Crazy Game in November 2014. In the United States the book was published with the title A Matter of Inches—How I Survived In The Crease And Beyond. The book was made into a documentary and is a must see.
