What's shocking is for how long O'Sullivan had to ensure this abuse. His ascension and path his hockey career took should have been laden with enthusiasm and anticipation, instead it was filled with dread and fear.
Feel sorry for him and have absolutely no empathy for his father, however 'mentally ill' he could be called, for the simple fact that his father knew exactly what he was doing and enjoyed it.

Maybe the greatest article I've ever read?
http://www.theplayerstribune.com/evgeny-kuznetsov-capitals-russia-hockey/
But, really, it's all gold.

Victor Hedman describes his experience going up playing hockey in Sweden: http://www.theplayerstribune.com/victor-hedman-lightning-sweden-hockey/
Much like Kuznetov's article, it's interesting to contrast how it works there with how minor hockey is here in Canada, especially in the GTA.

Do I want to know what "Vincent Lecavalier nutmegging you in practice" means?

I googled it, it's a soccer-thing. Basically means passing the ball/puck between a players feet/5-hole.

Goes to show the sense of maturity at such a young age. Whereas most young people his age can do anything they want without having to deal with a problem/condition, Max Domi is well beyond his years with the discipline & knowledge he needs to sustain himself everyday.
Good read.
Ryan Whitney and Mike Rupp preview the 2nd round of the playoffs: http://www.theplayerstribune.com/ryan-whitney-mike-rupp-second-round-stanley-cup-playoff-preview/
They also did a round 1 preview which you can find a link too there. It's great stuff. While I like the Tribune, it's nice that this isn't your general heavily edited, ghost-written article. Just two hockey guys talking hockey.
