“I wanted to write to let you know that I am currently going through a difficult time mentally.
This has been a recurring situation for a few years now, probably a symptom of my concussions during my career, and I’ve decided to try to address my problem this week.
I will therefore be taking a break from all my professional activities, La Poche Bleue, TVA, and Le Bataillon – all of which have been very understanding and have offered me the necessary support – so that I can take some time to heal.
This is something I probably should have done a few years ago but always put off.
I appreciate your respect for my family and me during this challenge, as well as your support over the years, whether it was on the ice or behind the mic.
I consider myself lucky to be able to count on you, and I already look forward to seeing you again once I’ve properly taken care of myself and my health.
See you soon!” – Guillaume Latendresse
