📚 Review: This was a good memoir that discusses Indigenous history, residential schools, minor and major sports leagues, Indigenous politics, and passion. This book was so so hard to read when he was discussing residential schools. It was also interesting to read about the way the NHL views players as property, and the politics of the league. Overall, this was informative and a good read!
