Chris Pronger Releases 'Earned,' a Memoir of Standards and Sobriety

He uses pivotal choices to teach personal standards.

Overview

  • The Hall of Famer's 176-page book hit shelves Tuesday, blending career snapshots with clear, practical advice.
  • Pronger says he quit drinking in 2023 and credits the resulting clarity with helping him write and return to broadcasting.
  • A sports psychologist’s question, “What are your standards?”, anchors the book’s message on accountability and discipline.
  • He recounts mistakes, including signing an Edmonton Oilers contract while drunk and without consulting his wife, to show how he owned the fallout.
  • His name has circulated in media talk for NHL front-office openings, including Toronto, but he says he has not been contacted and is not the Maple Leafs’ general manager.
