After almost 20 years into retirement, former NHLer Tyson Nash revealed his major comeback story after he was robbed of $1.8 million during his career.
Tyson Nash was an undersung forward in the NHL for 7 years. After being a 10th-round pick in the 1994 entry draft by the Vancouver Canucks, Nash went on to score 64 total points in 374 career games with the St. Louis Blues and Phoenix Coyotes before retiring from the league in 2006.
However, this former NHL forward has regained some prominence online after the revelations of a major struggle he faced during his career. Hockey Hall of Famer and 2x Stanley Cup Champion Chris Pronger shared that Nash's financial advisor embezzled nearly $2 million directly from his bank account. After a period of depression, his wife helped him decide to invest in a company that turned their pennies into dollars.
"Devastated to hear his financial advisor embezzled nearly all his savings. In deep depression, it was his wife Kathy who helped him put his work boots back on. They created a viable business and got back on their feet. Their story is an inspiration to us all. Bravo Nash's"
Orange Theory Fitness started back in 2011 and has grown into one of the most prominent gym and exercise trends, with possibly its most popular location in Los Angeles, California. Provided Tyson Nash's former ownership and sale, it is a wonder how much he made on the deal, but expectedly in far excess of the $200,000 he invested. Though his story ended on a happier note, this may not be the case for other NHLers who suffered the same financial fate. Hopefully, the league will take more steps to protect their players from any more embezzlement.
