Former NHL player Georges Laraque has weighed in on racism in hockey in the wake of the stupid one-year suspension given a Peterborough house league coach by the Ontario Minor Hockey Association.
The former Montreal Canadien writes, "It's unacceptable and shameful that the OMHA is choosing to hide behind their rules and regulations to punish Walsh, instead of giving him and his team the respect they deserve for standing up against racism. Every single one of us knows that he did the right thing."
As I said in a blog posting a few days ago, the OMHA has screwed up, totally misreading the tea leaves and misjudging public opinion in dealing with this incident.
Here's the link to Laraque's Facebook posting.
