TWIN CITIES, MN—While famed actor Charlie Sheen’s erratic behavior continues to garnish media attention nationwide, Gordon Bombay, Sheen’s brother and the long tenured coach of the legendary Mighty Ducks youth hockey team, is growing increasingly concerned that his Hollywood brother is spiraling out of control. Bombay, who entered youth hockey coaching after overcoming his own battles with substance abuse, is admittedly fearful that his brother and the Two and a Half Men star is on a destructive path.

“I’ve been there, trust me,” said Bombay of Sheen’s dependency problems. “But I was lucky. After getting a DUI back in ‘92, I was forced to coach the Ducks as part of my community service. I hated it at first, but it ended up saving my life. Coaching those kids gave me something to live for. It filled an emptiness in me that before only booze could cure. That’s what my brother needs—something to live for other than hookers, drugs and alcohol, because that stuff will kill him. Maybe he can get back into baseball, he used to be a pitcher in a previously life. He had a hell of an arm too.”
