There's a lot more to him than his play on the ice.

Newest member of the Chicago Blackhawks Jordin Tootoo has a reputation on the ice. He can be annoying, a pest, not the best scorer but someone who can really rack up the penalty minutes. But that's just him on the ice - and there's a lot more to him off of it.

He's the first player from Nunavut, and the first Inuk, to play in the NHL. His cousin, Hunter, was a member of the Canadian federal cabinet until he recently had to step down to seek treatment for addiction issues, something Jordin is familiar with himself.
