Coyotes look to terminate Ruzicka after he’s caught red-handed with cocaine!

The Arizona Coyotes aren’t wasting time. Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman has just reported that the Coyotes will place forward Adam Ruzicka on waivers for the purposes of contract termination hours after he posted a video of himself with what appears to be cocaine in front of him.

In the video, Ruzicka appears to have set up a station in order to consume the cocaine, then flips the camera towards himself where he grins like an idiot, almost proud of what he is about to do.

The video was erased from his Instagram profile, however, it was seen and recorded so many times, it got viral and made its way to Coyotes’ management.

Ruzicka is newly a member of the Coyotes after he was claimed on waivers by Arizona. He was waived by the Calgary Flames on January 24, and claimed by the Yotes. He since has played three games for Arizona, but however failed to record a point. In his role as a depth forward in Calgary, he had three goals and nine points in 39 games. Back in 2017, Ruzicka was selected in the fourth round, 109th overall by the Flames. In 117 games in the NHL, the Slovakian forward has put up 14 goals and 40 points.

You may remember how Washington Capitals’ Evgeny Kuznetsov got in trouble when he received a four year ban from the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) after testing positive for cocaine at the 2019 IIHF World Championships. Kuznetsov was caught on film during the tournament with cocaine lines spread out on a nearby table. Kuznetsov declined any involvement with the drug and played the whole situation off as a “wrong place, wrong time” type situation. The NHL and the Capitals accepted his explanation, closing the matter formally.

The Coyotes have decided to part ways with Ruzicka, who could always get the help from the NHL and NHLPA Players Assistance program.
