So obviously he heard the rumor he was banging Bedards dad it seems.

You know. At least this statement has an admission of guilt saying “As a result of my actions” and saying what he did was “inappropriate and wrong.”
I think that’s a good first step.
A lot better than the deflection we usually get from these kinds of statements.

Did I miss a day? Do we know what the actual incident was now? Obviously involved alcohol but I may have missed something
Oibrigade
Awesome statement. i feel terrible for the kid whose life must be hell with that false rumor. Hopefully whoever started it and those that kept pushing it lose followers on social media since it was most likely the reasoning behind this whole crap, to get more followers

hard to judge an apology when you don’t really know what’s he’s apologizing for

Alcoholism? Well that explains the recent discussions about the NHLPA.

He got hammered in Columbus and did something dumb. Mess up a hotel room? Fight a civilian?

I knew it was an upper decker.

I figured it was related to alcohol unfortunately it usually is which is unfortunate
I hope he gets the help he needs 🙁
HairlessDaddy
Maybe this sounds harsh but I don’t understand how a true apology can happen without even an acknowledgement of what happened. You’re not taking responsibility for your actions if those actions are kept a secret. Same goes for Shane Pinto.
gargamelul
doesn’t absolve whatever happened, but this is about as good a statement as you could ask for

What losing three straight SCF’s does to a man. Fr tho mental health/alcoholism is some serious shit hope he/the people affected are all good.
tmm74
A lot of the comments here mention alcoholism as a root cause for the apology. All I see here is that there are substance abuse issues. Am I missing something?

All jokes aside I am really praying Corey gets the help he needs
MariachiArchery
I have a lot of empathy for everyone involved in this.
Alcoholism, which is I’m guessing what is going on here, is a fucking nightmare. I hope that this is his rock bottom and get can start to take some responsibility. Words are one thing, but honest sobriety is another.

For me, sober from alcohol for 2 years, this is enough. It was almost impossible for me to accept I had a problem. I cannot imagine the embarrassment he’s going thru having this on the front page. Alcohol brought me to the depths of hell. Genuinely hope he’s doing okay.

I just celebrated 35 years sober. It saved my life.

One day the culture of having to drink to be one of the boys will change.

Damn, so it’s sounds like he’s got a drinking problem and it’s affected the team in some way. I always hated Corey Perry the player, but I hope Corey Perry the human gets the help he needs. I wouldn’t wish addiction on my worst enemy.
onarunner
Reavo was right.
Giga1396
Ok, but what did he even do/what is he apologizing for
We still don’t even know what happened lol
Dontrollaone
Good for him for admitting he has a problem.
Even if a PR agent wrote this for him, I still respect him for putting it out there.
I hope he gets the help that he needs.
veloxaraptor
To preface, I don’t disagree with the decision regarding Corey Perry.
But I do wonder how much of this is over compensation for past cover ups and judgement fails.
captain_catman_
If it’s just an alcohol problem though then why isn’t he being put in the player assistance program?

Oh so it is drugs. Why the fuck did it take like 8 days?

Good. First step is admitting you have a problem.
Very well written… by his advisors
