Samuel Poulin left the Pittsburgh Penguins over three months ago. He provided an update today.
Poulin Returning to Pro Hockey
The 2019 1st round pick made the courageous decision to leave hockey three months ago to address his mental health.
He released a statement today announcing that he would be returning to the Wilkes-Barre Scranton Penguins.
Three months ago, I made a decision to take a break from hockey, and return home to take care of myself and my mental health. After seeking the help I needed, I am now ready to return to Wilkes-Barre to rejoin my team.
I want to thank everyone who helped get me through this difficult time, including my family, my girlfriend, my friends, my medical team, the entire Pittsburgh Penguins organization, my teammates, and the fans, who showed unconditional love and support.
I strongly encourage everyone to speak openly about mental health because it affects us all.
For those who may be struggling, please know that you are not alone. Sam Poulin
