Mr. Canucklehead
Kitimat Canuck
I thought this would be a good topic for discussion as I see a lot of people talking about it on Twitter. There’s a movement afoot to have Gino Odjick enshrined in the Ring of Honour. How do people here feel about it?
Personally, I’m in favour. He was a long time Canuck, who holds a unique place in franchise history perhaps forevermore given that the role of the enforcer has become / is becoming obsolete. More so than his on ice contributions, he’s been a pillar of the community for several decades, and is still actively involved in charity and community work to this day.
I think for those reasons, there’s a good case for him being there. But I expect there’s a lot of viewpoints on this either way.
