BOWLING GREEN, Ky.- The Ice Hockey Hall of Fame goalie arrested earlier this week in Bowling Green has issued an apology.

On the Twitter page operated by Belfour’s company, the former NHL goalie wrote:

As CEO of a company that promotes drinking responsibly, I let myself down, as well as my family, loved ones, Belfour team and fans. I own my actions, and I’m deeply sorry to the good people of Bowling Green, Kentucky.

My life has been full of extreme highs and lows. for much of my career, high intensity has served me well. Unfortunately, a lack of moderation has not.

I’m striving to find healthy balance in my life. It’s a work in progress and one I’m committed to conquering. I look forward to better days ahead.

Belfour was arrested early Wednesday morning at the Kentucky Grand Hotel in downtown Bowling Green and charged with public intoxication and criminal mischief.

Police said he tried to fight a hotel manager and destroyed hotel property.
