But Jordin Tootoo is not most hockey players.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eHaving inspired millions when he first broke into the league, Tootoo continued to influence people throughout his career—not only through his very public triumph over alcoholism, but also his natural charisma. And now, years after hanging up his skates, he is more committed to doing things the right way and speaking about it to others, whether it's corporate executives or Indigenous youth.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut the news of unmarked graves on the grounds of residential schools brought back to life many of the demons that had haunted his family. In a moment of realization that left him rattled and saddened, Tootoo fit the pieces together. The years that were never spoken of. The heavy drinking. The all too predictable violence. His father was a survivor, marked by what he had survived.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAs he travels back to Nunavut to try to speak with his father about what haunts him, he encounters the ghosts of the entire community. Still, as Tootoo says, we are continuously learning and rewriting our story at every step. He has learned from his mistakes and his victories. He has learned from examples of great courage and humility. He has learned from being a father and a husband. And he has learned from his own Inuk traditions, of perseverance and discipline in the face of hardship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWeaving together life's biggest themes with observations and experiences, Jordin shares the kind of wisdom he has had to specialise in—the hard-won kind.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Penguin Random House NZ","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47597026640108,"sku":"9780735242265","price":59.99,"currency_code":"NZD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/7784\/8556\/files\/9780735242265-mind-over-matter.jpg?v=1777946149"}],"url":"https:\/\/bookhero.co.nz\/collections\/stephen-brunt.oembed","provider":"Book Hero","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
