JackStraw Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 Kind of cool, tonight will be the first NHL game where both head coaches are Native Americans (Americans in the generic, Western Hemisphere sense).http://www.philly.com/philly/sports/flyers/20131121_An_NHL_first_at_Flyers_vs__Sabres.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

off_the_post Posted November 21, 2013 Share Posted November 21, 2013 There are a number in that article which I didn't realize were first nations like Price and Trottier. Interesting. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcflyer Posted November 22, 2013 Share Posted November 22, 2013 Grant Fuhr? I didn't know he was of Native descent. Although I am Coast Salish, I am going for the Cree. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wcflyer Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 Re: Jammer Henry Boucha would be a better choice than Gino Odjick. I play in a golf tourney every September at a course in Vancouver, Gino ownes half of it. He usually likes to play every year, but due to too many concussions in his playing days in the NHL, he was unable to play this year. He made a short appereance on a golf cart, but he had to get back to the psych ward as he was out on a 1 hour visit. According to some of the local Tribe members(Musqeum), he doesn't know where he is half the time. Sad, really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jammer2 Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 @wcflyer Here I thought Gino was Italian, who woulda thunk it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcflyer Posted November 24, 2013 Share Posted November 24, 2013 He may have some Italian bloodlines, I don't know, but he is from the Algonquan Tribe in Quebec Mohawk warrior maybe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
