Coyotes waive Adam Ružička after graphic video of drug use emerged

After a graphic social media post emerged on Instagram involving Adam Ruu017eiu010dka, the Arizona Coyotes broke their relationship with the center.

Earlier today, Ruu017eiu010dka’s name on social media was trending because of a viral clip of him appearing to use drug paraphernalia.

In the video, there was a white powdery substance on a plate, presumably cocaine. Towards the end of clip, he also smoked something else when the camera flipped to his face.

As this gained traction across the web, the Coyotes were forced to take immediate action.

According to the team’s Public Relations account on X (formerly Twitter), they released a statement.
