Played a lot of hockey and I was in the same class as the CFL star JR Larose. I grew up with that guy. Lost touch now but it was fun. He was the only black kid, I was the only Chinese kid, and we beat the shit outta the white kids.
Pretty wholesome place to raise a family. West Edmonton mall was great fun as a kid.

My son has been coached on and off by JR the last 8 years through Community Football and the Game Ready Program and his kid also goes to school with mine, they live in South Surrey.
JR does public speaking now as his career.
