It's almost a 365 days a year job being a pro hockey player. It's a wonder more young men don't get burnt out. Good on Noah to realize that he needed time off and it probably made him a better person and hockey player.
undrafted, uni to nhl in a couple years, kid figures it out at every level
Make your family proud, your community proud and Oilers nation proud Noah
All the best
Oil Country is proud to have him! 💙🧡
Man, the Edmonton Oilers is such a great franchise for their players! Always loved the respect they have for their players!
9 minutes and 27 seconds ago he was just a player called up to the Oilers….but now, damn I’m rooting for this kid. Go get ‘em Noah!
his wife said NO !!!! we need this Money 😅💵
Beautiful🥹 ! Life isn’t always a straight path! Happy he found his love for the NHL again
He has a bright future, looks like a superstar in the making…love the puck poise and strong skating….he has a bright future

Happy hes on our team, and currently playing in the line up, I thought he had a nhl goal but apparently not, hopefully he can get one soon, that would be a cool moment for him
Noah!!
I see lots of success in Noah's career!
To step away like that takes courage and great selfawarenes. Well done kid. Well done parents ❤
We may be hockey fans, but we are people first. Doesn't matter what team you cheer for, this is the kind of thing you love to see – he took care of himself
Amazing. 😮😮I took a break from Hockey in the late 80s early 90s Then in the late 90s I started playing Div 1 Beer Hockey off the coach…There was some rust…but I got it done😂😂😂😅😅😅This is amazing…A year off then make it to the NHL 🎉
Love the behind the scenes hockey story especially in that it highlights the strong family support behind the athlete.
I'm cheering for Noah and the Oilers!
Who cares?
Mental health is now a crutch to not work harder, it’s absolutely embarrassing! Your parents had
no choice but to work harder Noah. I had a receptionist that took “mental health” leave because she got pressured to come to work on time. She was off for 7 months at full wage.
Well done Noah! We are happy to have you in Oil Country!
am i a hateful terrorist for saying:
lest we forget
Holy craps does he look and sound like RNH!
What great uplifting story. Go Well Noah.
Manz looks like Ryan Nugent Hopkins
