Zanzibar Buck-Buck McFate said:The quote in the Ranger article where it's said that hockey has it backwards explains it all. Many of us "drift" in our 20s, but what we really do is probe, experiment, try to figure out who we are and might be as adults. In elite hockey, there's no chance for any of that. He just needed unstructured time to explore and find out what he wanted.
That's a good way of putting it. We often under-estimate the toll that stress can have on a pro athlete.
