"When I made the Olympic team, I was told I couldn't celebrate if I played. If I scored a goal, that wasn't the way Canadians were supposed to conduct themselves.
Like ' Can someone show me the image of how a Canadian is supposed to act?'
I've been living in this country my whole life. That's somebody that's saying my character doesn't match with the character of the other players that are on the team. So when I think of all the other athletes throughout Canadian history, black athletes that have excelled at a high level, I understand exactly what they're going through.
Because you can argue that playing for Canada at the Olympics in hockey is the highest level of athletics that you can reach as a Canadian. And that's how I'm getting treated, the year I'm winning the Norris Trophy."
