TORONTO Ted Nolan’s love of hockey began with filling pails of water thousands of times to create his own ice rink in the backyard of his home outside Sault Ste. Marie, Ont. At 16, he moved to Kenora, Ont. to play junior hockey. Nolan recalls how he was subjected to racial taunts in his early years of the game. “It went from loving the game to just trying to survive in the game. They’d bump you and call you names I’d never heard before. They’d call me a prairie n word, and I thought ‘I never heard that before.’ You’d hear ‘oahu’ and ‘get back to the reservation’ and ‘what are you doing here you stinking Indian,’ all those types of things.”
