Corey Hirsch - Recipient of the Mental Health Award - 2020 Courage To Come Back Awards

Corey Hirsch may well be familiar to you already, as an Olympian and former star goalie of the Vancouver Canucks. Corey seemed to have it all - the money, the fame, the fast cars - but he hid a darkness for many years before breaking wide open the topic of mental illness in sport.
"I will not be silenced, or hide in shame and embarrassment. I will fight for mental health every day for the rest of my life."

Thank you for having the courage to admit that you were vulnerable as have so many of us have been. As someone who has been there, I am grateful to you

I still have my team pennant signed by the entire Kamloops Blazers roster from the 91-92 season that I acquired in Seattle during the Memorial Cup. It was autographed by all the players including Scott, Daryl, and COREY!

I had the honor of meeting Corey at the 2018 Courage to Come Back awards- and was to star struck to get a photo of the two of us. Thank you Corey for your courage and for sharing your story, and thank you Coast Mental Health for all you do
