Alex Galchenyuk Entering Player Assistance Program
1 year agoForward Alex Galchenyuk is entering the NHL and NHLPA's player assistance program after being arrested last week. The 29-year-old released a statement, regretting his actions and apologizing for his behavior. "My actions after drinking alcohol were not representative of who I am, but I must take responsibility for them, and I hope to one day be able to show you that I am a better person than who you sadly encountered last week," Galchenyuk wrote. Before the run-in with the law, Galchenyuk had secured himself a one-year, two-way deal for next season with the Arizona Coyotes. The contract was terminated by the team following Galchenyuk's arrest. The former third-overall pick has already struggled to stick in the NHL in recent seasons and it appears unlikely that he will get another chance in the league.
