Ozolinsh enters treatment program

[mac_82]

The National Hockey League and National Hockey League Players' Association announced today that Mighty Ducks of Anaheim defenceman Sandis Ozolinsh voluntarily has entered treatment as part of the Substance Abuse & Behavioral Health program of the NHLPA and the NHL.

Good on him to realize that he has a problem and is willing to do what it takes to get better.

"Voluntarily" is such an easy word to throw around. He probably failed a drug test and the NHL told him to go into a treatment program or face a serious suspension from the league. I hope he can deal with his addiction though.

any guesses on which substance?

steroids - probably not, there's too much heat for it to go away without much notice

alcohol - it would take a big effect on his game and there would be some noticable weight gain.

crack - he doesn't play for the dallas cowboys

I'm gonna go with coke. My guess is Ozolinsh got busted by his team doing more blow than Theo Fluery/Bob Probert/Ed Belfour/Grant Fuhr and is being sent to rehab.

hahahhahaha... I wouldn't be surprised if it is booze. On a side note, Fleury is apparently all cleaned up now and doesn't drink! Let's see how long this lasts...

Last time I saw Fleury at Coyotes (was a good year and a half ago) he was messed on something. Couldn't say what, but he looked more than just drunk.
