Former NHLer arrested in Florida

Things have been rough for former NHLer Mike Ribeiro these past years. Back in August, long time friend and agent, Bob Perno, revealed that his client has been dealing with substance abuse for a very long time and went for professional help over the years


Last season, Ribeiro almost seemed to be back on track to recovery, but Perno noticed something was wrong with the forward. Ribeiro finished the season playing with the Milwaukee Admirals looking unrecognizable. Things have gotten worse for the forward as it has been confirmed that back in October, the 37-year old was arrested for trespassing after warning.

Reports state that nobody can get ahold of the former player for quite some time now. Things just seemed to never get better for Montreal native as his wife left him and took their 3 kids with her. She apprently couldn't deal with Ribeiro's off-ice behavior, including that he was accused of sexually assaulting the family's former nanny.
