Description

oin us for Episode 27 of The Hall Podcast, as we sit down with former Vancouver Canucks goalie, Corey Hirsch, for a powerful and introspective conversation about his journey through mental health struggles and his riveting book, "The Save of My Life."

In this candid interview, Corey opens up about the highs and lows of his NHL career, from winning Olympic medals to sipping from the Stanley Cup. Beyond the glory on the ice, Corey battled persistent dark thoughts and anxiety that threatened to overshadow his success. We dive into the compelling narrative of his life, exploring how he managed to excel in the game while grappling with the challenges of mental illness.

"The Save of My Life," Corey's book, provides a riveting look behind the mask of an NHL goalie, offering understanding and hope to anyone living with mental illness. By sharing his personal experiences, Corey sheds light on the internal struggles he faced and the road to recovery.
