Today, the captain of the Tampa Bay Lightning, Victor Hedman, announced that his mental health was the reason that he recently stepped away from the team. Hedman is a 2x Stanley Cup Champion and an NHL All-Star. He’s won the Conn Smythe Trophy for playoff MVP and the James Norris Memorial Trophy for the league’s best defenseman. Hedman has long been a leader on the ice. With his statement today and his vulnerability in sharing about his struggles, he says that sometimes leadership looks like taking care of yourself. Thank you, Hedman, for your honesty and bravery. ⚡️💚 #mentalhealthleader #mentalhealthawareness #nhl #victorhedman #tampabaylightning
