Alex Galchenyuk's Former Head Coach just Revealed the Real Reason Behind his Performance Drop
More than a week ago, the Arizona Coyotes terminated Alex Galchenyuk's contract, less than 12 days after signing it. It didn't take more for fans to question the motives behind this sudden change of heart from the NHL team.
Then we learned that the main person involved was arrested on July 9 for a number of charges, including hit and run on private property, disorderly conduct, refusal to obey, resisting arrest, threat or intimidation.
Hockey fans' judgments did not take long to flood social networks. Fans, who only know him for his antics since he joined the NHL, immediately thought he was a lost cause and that he was in no way taking his job seriously.
In a recent interview on 98.5 Sports, the Coyotes' head coach, André Tourigny, wanted to put some facts about the hockey player into perspective. He strongly contradicted the show's host, Jérémie Rainville, when the latter asked if Galchenyuk's attitude was bothersome in the locker room.
However, the coach does not absolve the player of all his blames. He knows very well that his former forward had addictive problems. The one nicknamed the Bear, however, put things into perspective with an interesting comparison.
A very interesting revelation.
In recent days, Galchenyuk has sort of confessed his problem, by officially entering the NHL and NHLPA player assistance program. He also published a letter to everyone, apologizing for his attitude and showing his desire to get back on track.
