Morris Lukowich played with his childhood heroes Gordie Howe and Bobby Hull, helped lead the Winnipeg Jets to the AVCO Cup, and then became an NHL captain a couple of years later. But after this distinguished career on the ice, his transformation to life after hockey was fraught with PTSD, financial troubles, and thoughts about suicide. Unlike many players who reach such depths, Lukowich was able to pull himself out of it.

Geoff Kirbysonis a veteran journalist with over 20 years experience. He has spent most of his career at theWinnipeg Free Presswhile also contributing toCanadian Business Magazine,The Hockey Newsand numerous trade publications. He has coached minor hockey for many years and is a stay-at-home defenceman on The Sofa Kings in a Winnipeg beer league. He remembers the roar of the Winnipeg Arena crowd as a nine year-old when The Hot Line jumped over the boards.
