Georges Laraque discussed the trouble he went through just because of how he looked. I have to admit that I was pretty blind to this kind of thing until the 2003-04 Stanley Cup Playoffs. I could not believe some of the signs I saw greeting Calgary Flames captain Jarome Iginla (who is part African-American). He never faltered, he just kept playing and I wondered if I could ever possess such strength and restraint.
Racism is alive and well in the NHL as it is everywhere. Watch Georges Laraque’s story:
