The NHL Assistance Program workers are probably being over-run.
What is going on?
Great that its there and good luck to Laine, but maybe the NHL needs to start looking at some under-lying root causes?

There's a lot more awareness about mental health and substance abuse issues than there ever was before. That's obviously a good thing.
IMO it's likely also a function of changes in views on masculinity and men feeling more comfortable asking for help. We're seeing changes in views towards substance abuse too, with people feeling more comfortable looking for help, without the fear of losing their jobs for doing so.
