Former Montreal Canadiens enforcer, Georges Laraque, has been named deputy leader of the the Green Party of Canada. He will be the second deputy leader, alongside Adriane Carr, to represent the Green Party.
The Quebec native, who spent time with the Edmonton Oilers, Phoenix Coyotes, Pittsburgh Penguins, in addition to the Canadiens in the NHL is now trying his hand at politics. The move is a result of the Green Party trying to gain influence in the province of Quebec. Using Laraque's fan favourite celebrity he acquired during his time in Montreal, the Green Party hopes he will help gain more followers and garner more support for the party.
