NEWARK, NJ – Five years sober.

Former Red Wing Jordin Tootoo hasn’t touched a drop of alcohol since he ‘blacked-out’ after a booze-drenched day in Dec. 2010 when he attended a Tennessee Titans football game followed by a country music concert.

Now in his second season with the New Jersey Devils, Tootoo, who doesn’t hide from his past demons fueled by alcohol, is celebrating five years of being clear and sober.
