Adam Ruzicka signs with new team after being terminated for illegal video
Adam Ruzicka made nationwide headlines earlier this year after posting himself using illicit substances on Instagram. He has now signed a new contract overseas.
Adam Ruzicka, drafted by the Calgary Flames, was terminated by the Arizona Coyotes during the 2023-24 regular season due to a video he posted on his Instagram page where he boasted about using illegal substances.
This video set hockey social media on fire, ultimately leading to him being as good as banished from the NHL for his lack of discipline and substance issues.
He has now signed a new contract with Spartak Moscow of the KHL:
