from Lynda Klym at Black Athelete,
Georges Laraque had just checked into a hotel in Calgary. Hadn’t even unzipped his bag when a secretary of a friend called his cellphone. Everybody gets Georges’ cell number.
“She asked me if I could come to Edmonton,” he said. “There was this kid who was going to die. He had a couple hours to live, they thought, and his last wish was to see me.”

That is an awesome story. This is why I love hockey players. So many of them are humble hard working guys who not only work hard at what they do, but work hard to be good men as well. Sure you have a few who only care about being “stars” but more of them keep their egos in check and care about doing the right thing.
