    Gino Odjick

    Wayne “Gino” Odjick, hockey player (born 7 September 1970 in Maniwaki, QC; died 15 January 2023 in Vancouver, BC).

He was a proponent of culturally relevant education for Indigenous children and youth. Odjick was a member of the Kitigan Zibi Anishinabeg First Nation, an Algonquin community. He was an enforcer whose willingness to engage in fights on the ice served to protect smaller, more skilled teammates. Odjick skated for four National Hockey League teams over 12 seasons. For most of those teams, he chose to wear hockey sweater no. 29, the same number as was assigned to his father at residential school.
