Pittsburgh Penguins' winger Georges Laraque has the size (6'3", 250 pounds) and ethnicity (black) more befitting a Steelers player than one who make a living on the ice. His intimidating presence in uniform is the opposite of his personality the rest of the time.
While playing for the Edmonton Oilers, the Montreal native won that organization's community service award three times, and he hasn't changed a bit since arriving in the Steel City.
I'm a Christian, and I thank God for giving me the chance to be in the NHL and the way of thanking Him is not just by saying it but acting it," Laraque said. "We have a lot of power as athletes in the community and why not take advantage of the fact that by seeing one kid that's sick, you can make his day. That's what drives me, that's what pushes me to be a better person. I just love doing that stuff."
Now folks, THAT's a role model. Click here to read more about this special man in the Pittsburgh Tribune-Review article, "Pens' Laraque tough as nails on ice."
