Assault and head injury On 23 December 2006, Myrvold was assaulted after a
Christmas party in
Oslo. He received injuries to his head and successfully underwent
surgery at
Ullevål university hospital. Despite all his struggles he managed to come back to the ice, and was an important part of the success when the
national team reached the quarter-finals at the
2008 IIHF World Championship in
Canada.
Cocaine abuse In November 2007 Myrvold told the Norwegian newspaper
Verdens Gang that he had been abusing
cocaine for a lengthy period of time. His first time trying the drug was at a party following a game in Detroit. At the time of the interview Myrvold had just finished a 7-week
rehab program. A three-year contract with
Stavanger Oilers which Myrvold had signed in June 2008 was cancelled by the club in June 2009 after Myrvold had refused to undergo a
drug test which the club had mandated, suspecting that his substance abuse had returned.
Assault charge In 2010, Myrvold was charged with assault for resisting arrest after allegedly attacking a guest at a restaurant with a golf club. ==Career statistics==
