Journalist Deiter: Russian Nichushkin is participating in the NHL player assistance program
Russian forward of the Colorado Avalanche Valery Nichushkin became a participant in the National Hockey League (NHL) player assistance program. This became known to journalist Adrian Deiter, who spoke on the social network X (formerly Twitter).
The source emphasized that the information is not official yet. He also noted that the Russian was out for an indefinite period.
The NHL’s assistance program helps players with treatment for alcohol or drug addiction. In addition, hockey players can use it to cope with psychological problems.
On April 28 last year, The Denver Post reported that a girl was found in a heavily intoxicated state in the hockey player’s hotel room. She called herself Russian, but said that she was born in Ukraine. It was noted that there is no criminal investigation underway. Nichushkin left the team after the incident.
