Retired NHL player Georges Laraque has written his autobiography, entitled "Georges Laraque - The Story of the NHL's Unlikeliest Tough Guy". As a child he knew he wanted to play professional hockey. Despite the racism he faced, which he actually attributes to having made him more determined to succeed, he did reach his goal. He talks also about the role of the enforcer; his time playing in Sweden during the NHL lock-out and his decision to adopt a vegan lifestyle which led to him becoming a spokesperson for PETA and also deputy leader of the Green party.
