A woman on TikTok recently accused a former NHL player of ghosting her friend after an eight-year relationship. The video, which quickly went viral on social media, sparked a range of reactions from NHL fans on Reddit.
According to the TikToker, her friend had been dating a professional hockey player for more than seven years. When he received an opportunity to go to Russia, she encouraged him to take it up.
The TikToker claimed that in due course, the player stopped responding to his girlfriend's texts. Eventually, once he returned home, he sent her a cryptic message before cutting off all communication.
“So one day he gets a contract to go play hockey in Russia and it’s for an insane amount of money. He can’t turn it down, and because you’re supportive so you say, ‘yes babe, go! Go to Russia! Play in Russia!

“[They’re] talking about rings and wedding because mind you, you’ve been together for eight years,” she said. “He says, ‘I can’t wait to see you at the end of February when I come home’ — and finally the end of February rolls around and he disappears.”
According to the TikToker, the player returned to the U.S. for a brief period before traveling back to Russia, where he posted a photo with another girl.
“The last thing I’ll say is, put a finger down if today, Nov. 3, 2023, this man posted a photo of this woman with a ring on her hand. This is a true story. It did not happen to me. It happened to my best friend of 20 years. And sir if you are watching, you know who you are and you can rot in hell."
The video was posted on Reddit and fans were quick to weigh in with their views:
One Reddit user humorously remarked:
"Never trust a hockey player, lmao; 9/10, it’s a douchey rich white boy that’s just a frat dude in training."
Another fan shared a personal experience:
"I went to a big university. When we were at the bars, if football players showed up... okay. If basketball players showed up... okay. If hockey players showed up... time to go."
A third fan referenced a controversial incident involving a Mercyhurst hockey player:
"Wasn't it a Mercyhurst hockey player who pushed a wheelchair down some stairs in a bar? Class act."
Yet another fan chimed in with a tongue-in-cheek observation:
"And frat dudes are just lacrosse players in training."
It's important to note that the woman in the video did not mention the name of the player.
