Let's be honest--he wasn't anything special on the ice, but the fact that he was there at all is historic no matter how you cut it. I hope whatever demons claimed his brother and nearly claimed him will stay well away as he hangs 'em up.
Dude didn't play organized hockey until he was 13 years old I think. Made it a long way and as you say hopefully he can keep the demons away and be an important figure for Inuk and other native youth.
