Tonight, the NHL delivered a significant declaration concerning Milan Lucic. Earlier in the day, Lucic faced charges following a domestic altercation for which he was apprehended last Friday. He was instructed to abstain from alcohol and barred from any future altercations involving his spouse. Following this announcement, the NHL opted to issue their decision. It has been revealed that Lucic will enroll in the Player Assistance Program.
This initiative was established to aid players facing mental health emergencies and grappling with substance abuse issues. Given Lucic's arrest allegedly linked to alcohol, this course of action appeared to be a rational choice.
Lucic's next court appearance is scheduled for January 24th, and it's probable that there won't be many updates on this matter until then. The legal proceedings will significantly influence whether and when Lucic can resume his NHL career.
