Georges Laraque Nov 04, 2020

Show notes

He is never short for words, he is never short on stories and on this episode he doesn't disappoint. Joining the crew is one of the toughest, most loveable guys to have the role of enforcer in the NHL. Big Georges Laraque is in the house and he shares some great stories. Coming from humble beginnings in Montreal, Canada, his parents said if you want to play hockey you are on your own... he was 7 years old and he had something to prove to his parents and to the people in the stands who called him the N word, which drove his parents out to the arena. He also shares some great stories about meeting Rappers and having a blast playing in Edmonton for the Oilers as well as for the first time speaking about the Sean Avery incident.
