Sad news for former NHLer Bobby Ryan
Some sad news to report on former NHL forward Bobby Ryan.
As per �Scoop Nashville':
''[Ryan] was arrested in Nashville Monday at the Nashville International Airport. An airport store reported that Ryan had taken items and left without paying and alerted Airport Police, who observed him on security cameras. Ryan left the stolen items on a counter along his way and entered Little Harpeth Brewing, where officers found him seated at the bar ordering a drink. Police say he was not compliant with them, was extremely intoxicated, and did not know where he was, the date, or the time, and could not stand on his own. The store declined prosecution on the recovered items, and Ryan was jailed for public intoxication.�'
Bobby Ryan was awarded the NHL's Masterton Trophy after a previous battle with alcohol abuse.
Ryan had taken an extended leave of absence from the Ottawa Senators starting in November 2019 to enter the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program, citing his issues with alcohol abuse.
It was feel good story though, as he recorded a hat trick in his first game back and received a massive ovation, bringing him to tears.
Ryan released his on statement via Twitter earlier this morning.
