Jakub Vrana Placed In NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program

October 19, 2022 at 5:08 pm CDT | by Josh Erickson 5 Comments

As announced today by the NHL, Detroit Red Wings forward Jakub Vrana has been placed in the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program. Vrana will be unavailable for an indefinite period of time while he receives care as prescribed and overseen by the program.

Vrana will return to game action for Detroit when he is cleared for on-ice competition by the program’s administrators, according to the release.

26 years old, Vrana is entering his second full season with the Red Wings. The Prague-born forward had a goal and an assist in his first two games with Detroit this year after he missed 56 games last season with a shoulder injury.

PHR sends its best wishes to Vrana while he gets the help he needs.

    One of my favorite players in the league. Wish he was still with the Capitals. I’ve kept up with him since he’s left and was excited to see what he could bring to a young Red Wings team. Glad he’s addressing whatever he’s going through. Praying for you Jakub

    He was not getting his usual minutes in those 2 games but still managed a pt in each game. Praying for you Jakub! Take the time you need.

    Not personally a fan of Vrana, but will absolutely root for him to get the support he needs to get healthy. Hockey is just a game; being able to life a long and healthy life is so much more important. Recognizing that there’s a problem and seeking help takes true strength. Wishing you the best, Jakub.
