Chris Pronger shocked hockey fans recently after sharing that his former St. Louis Blues teammate Tyson Nash was robbed of $1.8 million during his NHL career.
Tyson Nash has always been a colorful character, keeping his name alive for hockey fans years after retiring from the league. Aside from being part of his famous Pillow Talks with Paul Bissonette, he was one of the most outspoken voices on the Coyotes' move from Arizona, crediting it as the reason the franchise ended.
"'I'm not a developer, I'm not a builder by any means but I even knew that it wasn't going to work.'

Unfortunately, this retired NHLer is back in the news cycle for a devastating reason. During his time in the league, Tyson Nash was robbed blind of just shy of $2 million by his financial advisor.

His former teammate Chris Pronger was the figure who broke the news, posting a video on the story on social media. The Hockey Hall-of-Famer shared that this embezzlement put Nash in a depressive state. However, he added that Nash described it as the best thing that ever happened to him because it forced his wife to get him to buckle down and get to work. This resulted in his investment in Orange Theory, which later turned out a massive profit upon selling his share.
"There was another one, Tyson Nash. You've probably never heard of it, I didn't know it either until he told me. He was incredibly embarrassed. His fund manager embezzled money from his bank account, and stole money directly from his account. He thought he had more money than he actually did. He became depressed, not knowing what to do until his lovely wife Kathy shook him a bit and made him react.
He had a nice little nest egg of $2 million that he probably would have counted on and put to good use to live a comfortable life. Instead, I think he said he had $200,000 left in his bank account.
Not all the news is bad, as Nash and his wife have turned the corner and pulled out of that very difficult situation. Pronger states that they are doing very well now and live a happy, comfortable life together.
He did wonders, sold that business, and the rest is Nash's history. They are doing incredibly well, are very successful, and have now figured out how to do business, bringing that determination, perseverance, and toughness that he had while playing, and applied it to the business world. He and his wife are doing incredibly well and very proud of themselves."

Though not a situation any player should be in, Tyson Nash's comeback story is inspiring, and a reminder to never give up when all seems lost. Hopefully, years later, the NHL and all players have better protections when it comes to financial burdens.
