RECOVERY HERO –
Feb. 19, 2023 – Justin Bourne is not one to live only in the shadows of his father, famous four-time Stanley Cup winner, Bob Bourne, but Justin does sympathize with his father, who like Justin, struggled with alcoholism. Justin’s new book, Down and Back: On Alcohol, Family, and a Life in Hockey, shares the good and bad on a journey that takes so much courage to fight every day (for the rest of your life). With his most prized possession by his side, his family, Justin takes it day by day and victory by victory. Being a former professional hockey player now turned Sportsnet host, among other titles, Justin is familiar with success, but I have a feeling overcoming his struggle with alcohol may be one of his proudest accomplishments yet.
