By Georges! NHL Star Officially Goes Green

Former NHL enforcer Georges Laraque may be retired, but don’t call him a snowbird (he’s 33—I don’t think he meets the age requirement).

Georges Laraque is determined to improve life for animals and people: “[T]hat’s what I was born for, to change the world.” Words to live by.
