Rangers' Jacob Trouba Addresses Criticism with Mental Health Advocacy

Trouba responds to harsh podcast comments by highlighting suicide awareness and supporting athlete mental health.

Jacob Trouba faced severe criticism from the 'Spittin' Chiclets' podcast over his playoff performance and leadership.
In response, Trouba posted about suicide awareness, citing alarming statistics about mental health in athletes.
He announced that proceeds from his art sales for the next 30 days will be donated to Athletes for Hope.
Trouba's wife, a neuroscience major, was also mentioned in the podcast's critique, which Trouba found unacceptable.
Despite the criticism, Trouba was recently awarded the Mark Messier Leadership Award for his contributions on and off the ice.
