answering a million desperate calls, my broadcast partner Rick Ball and our producer Larry Isaac I don’t know if I could have called game with Rick. 1/2
Today is my birthday. I didn’t really feel like much of a dinner.
@hrudfam
convinced me last night was a big win for me. I need to treat myself because I fought hard. If you’re going through something similar talk to your family, friends. It helps.

My annual hotel check in for the playoffs. Hotel front desk clerk “Welcome back Mr. Hrudey, I see you’re with us for...pause...longer pause...glance up at me...pause again...52 nights “ Me, Yup
My uninvited friend has dropped in for an unwelcome visit. Knew I needed to go for a walk with the Canadian Rockies in the background. Once again on my journey to “More Good Days”

reminded me that 40 years ago today we had our 1st date. We went to the horror movie “Silent Scream” at the Towne Theatre in Medicine Hat. Great memories!!! ❤️❤️
Throwback family pic circa 1994. My life would not be nearly as meaningful without these incredible women in my life. Happy

Late night dinner
@TheKeg
on York. Love this place. Don’t worry I won’t finish this plate and bread. Can’t promise what will happen to the 🍷. Happy New Year everyone!!!
Great news, Maverick has gained 2lbs 1 oz in 3 weeks. Proud Grandpa needs a cookie to keep pace. Loving the experience. My brother Ken told me how much I would enjoy this but I never imagined it to be this heartwarming. ❤️
Today is a good reminder for all of us to focus on our own mental health as well as family members, friends and strangers. Please don’t try to do it alone, it’s too painful and lonely. I know from experience. Love from the Hrudey’s.

shared his personal experience dealing with a slump during his NHL career and the effect a tough stretch can mentally have on a goaltender during the season.
Beautiful day with my mom and brother Ken on Mother’s Day. We had a wonderful brunch to celebrate this special day. To all the great moms “Happy Mother’s Day”.

Now, he hopes his story can help someone else.

It’s been years and years since I’ve been able to watch the Super Bowl from the start. Every Sunday I’ve either been flying home to Calgary or elsewhere. Love my job but this feels pretty pretty pretty good. Caesar x 2, chips and dip.

Most importantly, I want you to know I’ve read every single message. I really appreciate the outpouring of love. We need to continue this conversation to make it normal. Inner peace, what a quest. Sending big hugs to everyone. 2/2
Rare day off so we’re taking advantage of our great weather here in Calgary, plus we had to treat ourselves to an ice cream with our grandson Maverick.

One day I asked her if she would like to meet Cass. Mom says it’s on her bucket list. Using FaceTime, Cass talked with my mom today for 40 minutes. True Class Cassie!!! ❤️❤️

Hey everyone,
@golfrevelstoke
is an absolute gem in the Canadian Rockies. If you’re passing thru Revelstoke you should definitely stay an extra night and play the course. Thanks Dean, Charles, Brodie and the entire staff!!! Try the onion rings too
@hrudfam
Holy, pretty overwhelmed by the support and love I received today about my searching for “More Good Days” As most of you know I like to personally respond to every kind message. Unfortunately with the schedule we have it might take a little bit. 1/2
Normally I post food pics on Friday nights during the NHL season. Thought I would post a favourite memory from our summer instead. Maverick and grandpa wrestling together

Extremely important discussion this afternoon

Rare Saturday night off in Toronto. I haven’t shared a food pic in awhile. Classic chicken noodle soup to start with a fantastic Italian wine. Good start, slider and fries on the way.
Hey Justin, chill out buddy and relax. I get you don’t like me, that’s okay. But you’re mad at me for comments you think I made during the Oilers-Jets game. I didn’t even work the game. Try a little kindness from time to time on social media. It just might make you feel good.
Quiet day off in Toronto. Watching the

Check the More Good Days booth today at the Cochrane Made Market today from 10-4. Wish I could be there! 10% of their sales go to Canadian mental health organizations.
Could two followers please copy and re-post this tweet? I'm trying to demonstrate that someone is always there, especially at this time of year. Call 833-456-4566 (National Suicide Prevention Helpline CDA). Just two. Any two. Copy, not retweet. Let’s all look out for each other
Picture perfect day for a bbq in Calgary. Reached 29 degrees. Chicken wings and drumsticks seasoned with Lawry’s and lemon pepper. Watching

Hey everyone. Thanks for the tremendous response concerning the mental health video I posted earlier. I’ve had many people reach out and ask where they can purchase the t-shirt that our daughter Kaitlin and her husband created. Please go to Instagram.
