Good for him and his family, for being willing to share their struggles.

From NHL goalie to broadcaster, Kelly Hrudey has been a longtime fixture in the hockey world, but it’s an experience far removed from the ice that he describes as his hardest and most rewarding work: supporting his youngest child in her battle with mental illness.

The Hockey Night in Canada commentator and his daughter, Kaitlin, are speaking out publicly about her anxiety disorder as part of Know the Signs, a national campaign launched by the RBC Children’s Mental Health Project. It highlights early warning signs to identify possible indicators of childhood mental illness.

The pair hope that by sharing their story they can help children with mental illness know they aren’t alone in their struggle, and can also raise families’ awareness of the warning signs — early indicators the father of three admitted he missed.
