Gino Odjick has recently been diagnosed with a terminal heart condition, and he might have only a few weeks left. The support from public has been nothing short of amazing. Hundreds of fans actually went to the hopsital and chatted Gino.
I have to say, I don't know Gino at all. Back in 1990, when he was drafted, he wasn't the scoring winger, not the defenseman, but an enforcer. Someone who has to start and finish fights. Someone who requires the least skill as a hocky player to win games. Enforcers are also known to be itimitating assholes, their fists usually earn most of their NHL salaries.
Gino, like other enforcers, were feared on the ice, became good buddy with Pavel Bure (who I actually recognise). Unlike most enforcers, or Pavel in most cases, he is said to be a person with great heart off the ice.
He spends lots of time in the community where he came from, never forgetting his aboriginal root. He is loved by most reporters because he is polite and bilingual.
To this day, not many people can hear their names been chatted in a hockey game. In Gino's case, it was extra special, because he is not an amazing hockey player. Fans chatted Gino because he is an amazing person...
