Chris Therien’s New Book Chronicles Alcoholism And Sobriety

THE ULTIMATE HAT TRICK –

Dec. 10, 2022 – In Philadelphia Flyers orange and black, defenseman Chris Therien cut an imposing figure on the ice, a stalwart physical presence for over a decade in the NHL. 

But by the end of his playing career, he was concealing a much greater battle with alcoholism, which bled into his professional and family life.

The book Chris Therien: Road to Redemption, written by Therien with longtime Flyers beat reporter Wayne Fish, chronicles this struggle. In it, the player and former TV/radio hockey analyst opens up completely and candidly, reflecting on his life and career with perspective gained from more than 10 years of sobriety. Therien takes readers from the blueline to the broadcast booth, sharing untold stories from life in pro hockey while laying bare his private struggle with addiction.
