This is a story of loss and gain. Of feeling safe and feeling loved. Hockey didn’t come easy to Linus Ullmark. He was never supposed to make it this far, but he did by turning tragedy into triumph.

So much unbelievable love in this comments section. Ya love to see it. ❤️
This resonates with sooo many people.
Hopefully Linus and Jeremy stay together as a top duo for years to come
Ive been through it, all the emotions, pain etc, same story….love the B's and Linus
I luv Linus
Jævla bra Svenskgutt
Your ok Linus hang in there .
🤗 HUGS TO Allmark !!
Panthers and Bobrovsky fan, but I can definitely respect Linus Ullmark. He truly built himself from the ground up and broke the cycle of alcoholism. He’ll be a great father for his children!
So fortunate to have him and sway as the goalies i get to watch all season. What an amazing duo…both as people and goalies.AMAZING
As an Avs fan, I can 100% appreciate this! Such a great story! I may not cheer for the Bruins but I always cheer for great people. That’s exactly what Linus is!
Its a terrible day for rain.
"Its okay to not be okay" its a common term but its super impactful if you truely belive in it.
🥰🥰🥰
Wow! I had no clue that he had to face such difficulties. Makes the Goalie-Hug so much more special as it already was. So happy for Linus that he found love and joy and wish for him it will be endless. ❤
As a Bostonian I hope you can take our cheers for you as a hug whenever you need it Linus. So happy you're with us!
No on to hug, such a clickbait title. Canada's finest!
This is amazing in so many ways!
Thank you for sharing and thank you for making the Bruins a better team 🖤💛
Much love from a fellow Swede 💙💛
this is the best story in then nhl, two of the greatest goalies of all time and some of the most impactful people on the world of hockey. Didnt think i would cry today but here i am.
this was like tom brady
he was drafted in the 6th round
and he becomes the best in the world at his job
It seems to me that he's coping way better than Laine. Of course Laine's younger so it might be a bit harder for him but your own father's death is never easy no matter what age you are (from what I've heard). And in my opinion I think it's still messing up Patrik's game alot. Kudos to both of those players.
Not a fan of Bruins but Ullmark is wholesome and so brave for overcoming his traumas. We need more mental health conversations in sports.
Damn. I might start liking the bruins now 😂
Love goalies ❤
Didn't expect to find myself weeping this morning but wow what a story!
Thanks for being so open, Linus. It helps others with similar family struggles and challenges to find their own peace and know that they're not alone.
Thays my.goalie
I enjoyed watching this so much! What a great guy! 😊
Im shocked at how many similarities there are between his story and my story. Other than the whole being a vezina caliber goalie thing 😂
we must protect him and Swayman at all costs
What a beautiful piece. Great work Sportsnet – thanks for this.
The Minion
WHERE ARE YOU, YOU DAMN ONION CUTTING NINJAS?!
wow that first 25 seconds hits home, respect. mad love to everyone going through these struggles behind closed doors🤞
As a child of an alcoholic parent, this really hits home to me. I still to this day have mental health issues brought on from this. Its okay to not be okay. I love Linus Ullmark for being so open and honest
a goalie in the best mindset and place is the best goalie to have on your team
Incredible story, incredible guy! A true legend and inspiration
Just great
Guy went through hell and is now a top tier goalie
Linus was already my 7-year old son’s hero. This just makes me even happier that he is. What a role model and amazing person!
Man….I am an Islander fan for life but this stole my heart. ❤
😢
Any bruins fan that says the organization needs to trade Ullmark or Sway are absolute dopes! Go Bs!
Wow great to know a little bit about the MAN! behind the mask didn’t know I could love him more than I already do. What a stand up kind of Guy
❤❤
I am a canes fan, and I should hate him because he’s on the bruins. But I just can’t. He gained a new fan.
