Jordin Tootoo

THE END!

Allan MacDonald

Jordin Tootoo was born February

2nd, 1983 in Churchill, Manitoba.

He is 5 feet 9 inches tall and weighs

199lbs. Jordin is from the Inuktituk tribe.

I personally think Jordin is a great role model for kids not only in Canada but all around the world. He says "you always have to fight your way through". He doesn't only play for himself, he plays for his brother and family. Another thing he says is "never forget where you came from and play from the heart.".

Jordin was first drafted by the Nashville

Predators in 2001. Then in 2012 he got

signed as a free agent by the Detroit

Red Wings.

The Team Tootoo fund also supports kids in need.

Jordin helps his community by having his own charity called The TEAM TOOTOO fund which supports suicide prevention.

Problems Jordin faced

Some of the problems Jordin had to overcome were homesickness, racism and family tragedy. Naskville was very far from his friends and family in Churchill. He also had to deal will much discrimination and racism because he was one of the few Native players in the NHL. The worst problem Jordin faced was that his older brother, that he greatly admired, committed suicide.
