Hat Tricks from Heaven
The Story of an Athlete in His Own Prison of Addiction
A golden boy grows up in a loving family, surrounded by friends, effortlessly successful in high school, college and a promising career. What could go wrong? Along with being captain of the hockey team came six surgeries for sports-related injuries, followed by an escalating opioid addiction. This is the incredible story of a mother's roller coaster ride from the non-stop joy of motherhood to the realization that her son is in the clutches of drug addiction.
