Hockey League after being waived by the Sabres. The Sabres brought him back to their NHL roster on November 15, 2022. On November 27, 2022, after two games with the Sabres, Sheahan was placed on unconditional waivers for the purpose of terminating his contract because of Sheahan’s refusal to return to AHL affiliate, Rochester Americans. EHC Biel On December 1, 2022, Sheahan joined EHC Biel of the National League (NL) for the remainder of the 2022/23 season. Personal life Sheahan is the nephew by marriage of Rocky DiPietro, a member of the Canadian Football Hall of Fame. He plays guitar in his free time. In 2021, Sheahan and fellow hockey player Tyler Smith started the Speak Your Mind podcast to address mental health issues in and out of professional sports. Legal issues On October 29, 2012, Sheahan was stopped by police in Grand Rapids, Michigan, after which a roadside test determined he was driving with a blood-alcohol level of 0.30, nearly four times the legal limit. Sheahan was wearing a purple Teletubby costume and was carrying the ID of fellow Red Wings' prospect Brendan Smith when arrested. He told police he was carrying Smith's ID so he could get into bars, as he was underage at the time. Sheahan pleaded guilty in Michigan's 61st District Court on December 13, 2012, to operating a car with a blood-alcohol level of 0.17 or higher. He was sentenced to one year probation and ordered to spend 49 hours on a work crew. Sheahan had previously been arrested on alcohol-related charges when he was charged with public intoxication and consumption of alcohol by a minor in 2010 when he was a freshman at Notre Dame.
