Send us Fan MailThis conversation is with Georges Laraque, one of the most feared enforcers to ever play in the National Hockey League. Georges spent the majority of his 13 year NHL career with the Edmonton Oilers, but also spent time playing in Phoenix and Pittsburgh before ending his career with the Montreal Canadiens. But as you will hear in this conversation, Georges is so much more than your stereotypical tough guy. Georges has always been a true humanitarian and an engaged citizen, and since going vegan in 2009, Georges has become a passionate animal rights activist and force within the vegan movement. He prides himself in being a voice for those without one and protecting those around him.
