Former NHL goaltender Corey Hirsch chronicles his struggles with obsessive compulsive disorder in a new book, and will speak about it and sign copies of his book Wednesday at 7 p.m. at Bolen Books
He was 22, living in New York and had already hoisted the Stanley Cup and won a silver medal with Canada in the 1994 Lillehammer Winter Olympics.“I got to live out my wildest childhood dreams, next to guys like Mark Messier and Brian Leetch, in the greatest city in the world. And it meant nothing to me. Less than nothing … with my unrelenting, endless, endless, endless thoughts,” said Hirsch, in an interview with the Times Colonist.
He gunned the vehicle, aiming at an embankment into the North Thompson River. But something sent his foot to the brake at the last possible moment, and the car slid to a sudden halt just feet from the cliff’s edge.He admits reaching out for help in the macho world of professional sports was the hardest thing he has ever had to do.Nobody would accuse American multi-medallist Olympic swimming legend Michael Phelps, who is also open about his mental-health issues, of being weak, he said.
