Former Ottawa Senator Admits to Buying Illegal Drugs
Viktor Lodin, after parting ways with the Ottawa Senators, chose to play in Sweden. However, his tenure hasn't been smooth sailing.
Last week, rumors surfaced regarding a SHL (Swedish Hockey League) player's involvement in illegal drug purchases.
Lodin took responsibility the following day, confessing his actions. Amidst this, his team, IK Oskarshamn, has been supportive as he grapples with addiction.
"I now hope to be able to look forward with positive feelings and that I can be a role model for other people who have gone through or are going through an addiction problem or for some other reason need a second chance and who take advantage of their new opportunity,"
IK Oskarshamn's Supportive Stance
The club's director offered insights into their perspective and commitment to aiding Lodin.
"The events in question lie in Viktor's previous problems, which IK Oskarshamn knew about when recruiting Viktor. Viktor has undergone treatment and together with IK Oskarshamn has entered into a collaboration where we have a plan that will ensure that Viktor will continue to be healthy and work for a positive future both as a person and as a hockey player. Both Viktor and the club agree on which rules and values apply in society and in IK Oskarshamn. Both parties are determined to live by these,"
With his North American journey possibly at its end, Lodin aims to rejuvenate his career in his native land. With IK Oskarshamn's assistance, the hope remains that he will overcome his challenges and continue to shine in the sport.
