Playing career

Myhres played for the Tampa Bay Lightning, Philadelphia Flyers, San Jose Sharks, Nashville Predators, Washington Capitals, and Boston Bruins. During his career, Myhres struggled with substance abuse. While a member of the Flyers in 1997, he became the second player in league history to enter the NHL's voluntary Substance Abuse and Behavioral Health program, which he reentered in September 1998. He was suspended four times by the NHL for failing drug tests and was eventually banned from the league for life. After becoming clean and sober and studying substance abuse behavioral health at Mount Royal University in Calgary, Myhres was hired by the Los Angeles Kings in September 2015 as the team's player assistance director.
