 IQALUIT
- Rankin Inlet hockey player Jordin Tootoo has been named to junior
hockey's Team Canada.
Tootoo will play in the world junior tournament in Halifax Dec. 26. Tootoo will play as a forward in the championship tournament, being held in Halifax from December 26 to January 5. No one in Nunavut was more relieved at the news Tootoo had made the cut than his mother, Rose. "I got a phone call from my son in law, Aaron and he told me and I said, wow, alright, no more stress," she says. Tootoo is the first Inuit hockey player to be drafted by the NHL. Canada's first game is on Boxing Day, against Sweden. |
