Former NHL'er and host of TSN's Overdrive Jeff O'Neill has had fans wondering what was going on after missing recent episodes.
Then on May 1st we then learned from a TSN's spokesperson that O'Neill is "on leave" from the network, but no further details were released.
During Monday's Ovedrive broadcast, hosts Hayes, McLennan and contributor Frankie Corrado finally addressed O'Neill's absence from the show this past week sort of saying:
«He is OK,» Hayes told the listening audience. «All we can say is that we appreciate the messaging. We appreciate the concern. We wanted to let you know that the ODog is on leave, and that's as far as we're going to go with it. But the show's going to continue.»
Hayes suggested Corrado would be on the show «more going forward.»
«The ODog is on leave right now,» said Hayes. «He's OK. He's getting messages from people. He's seeing all this kind of stuff. But that's as far as we can go. That's what we're going to leave it at � that the ODog is on leave.»
«We've got lots of stuff to talk about,» said McLennan. «Everyone's thinking of him. So we'll address it moving forward.»
Jeff O'Neill is back!
O'Neill returned back to TSN today. O'Neill thanked the fans for reaching out and confirmed he is indeed back.
