Chris Therien
Chief Wellness Officer
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 10 years of sobriety. Therien takes readers 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.
Bryan McCauley
Director of The HEROES Program
My personal journey has been shaped by my service in the United States Marine Corps, as well as my experiences as a firefighter and then a police officer/ detective. I transitioned from those front-line roles in 2019 and became the director of an addiction treatment program for veterans and first responders. This position resonated deeply with my own recovery journey, which began in September 2010.
My path to recovery included the benefit of treatment, which ignited my passion for helping others facing similar struggles. With an understanding of the unique challenges faced by veterans and first responders, especially regarding the cumulative effects of trauma, I have committed my career to providing support and guidance to others.
