Road to Redemption

De: Chris Therien, Wayne Fish

Narrado por: Mike Chamberlain

In Philadelphia Flyers orange and black, 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 defenseman-turned-analyst now opens up candidly and completely, reflecting on his life and career with perspective gained from over ten years of sobriety. Therien takes listeners from the blue line to the broadcast booth, sharing untold stories from life in pro hockey while laying bare his private struggle with addiction, including his ultimate low in 2006 after the death of his sister.

Road to Redemption also details Therien's deep bond with the city of Philadelphia and his new path helping others find recovery from drug or alcohol abuse.

Hockey fans will not want to miss this heartfelt and vulnerable tale.

Excellent book.

I got this book because I’ve been a fan of the Flyers my entire life and of Chris’ during his time as a player and broadcaster and wanted to know his story and how he got to the point now in his life where he is helping others deal with their own addictions and demons. Well done Chris and best to you on your continuous journey

Thanks Chris

As a former collegiate player in the Philly area that has struggled with alcohol abuse, this book was right up my alley. I have struggled with alcohol abuse and have gone sober for stretches but never had the guts to commit to a program. I appreciate Chris’s honesty.
