When I was a kid playing hockey here I started to hate the game cause of racism I faced in minor hockey. I was lucky enough to meet Iggy and shared my story with him. If it wasn't for him I would have given up hockey for good. I went on to play and meet a lot of good hockey people, from Major Junior to Europe. I can only imagine how different my life would have been without that talk.

Thanks for everything you did, Iggy. On and off the ice.
