TSN's Rick Westhead sits down with former NHL coach of the year, Ted Nolan, to discuss the racism he faced during his career in professional hockey. Nolan talks about why he didn't get an NHL coaching job for a decade after winning coach of the year and why he's not an NHL coach now. An Ojibwe from the Garden River First Nation near Sault Ste. Marie, he felt like an unwanted visitor in the world of professional hockey.
Today, much of Nolan’s focus is on his work with the Ted Nolan Foundation – an organization that encourages Indigenous youth to pursue academic growth. He also founded 3 Nolans with Jordan and his other son Brandon, also a former NHLer. The goal of 3 Nolans is to help Indigenous youth with hockey and life skills.
