It's a face that has played host to a lot of fists. John Caruso's nose
is crooked, there are reminders of past stitches around the corners of
his eyes, and his forehead has as many bumps as a corduroy road. Battle
scars from his two seasons as a Junior B tough guy, plus the years of
rage- and alcohol-fuelled bar brawls that followed.
Sitting in a quiet corner of a Toronto restaurant, he rolls up a sleeve to show the evidence of the deeper fight he's been waging, the one that underlies all his anger. "And of course, everyone has one of the these," he deadpans, nodding towards the ugly pink scar just below the elbow. "All told, I've tried to kill myself at least 12 times."
