Predators' forward, Michael McCarron, has entered the NHL player assistance program, which is there to help players when it is needed.
We do not know why exactly McCarron is entering the program, so we should not be speculating. It could be anything from help with substance abuse to dealing with mental health issues or the loss of a loved one.
Whatever the reason is, it is extremely important to respect McCarron's privacy and be supportive of him for taking this step to better himself.
We hope McCarron the best in his experiences with the program, and he hope that he is able to return to the ice when the time is right.
