This guy will never know what he has personally done for me and my life. He is my hero, one of my all time favorite hockey players, and bottom line even though I will never meet him or know him someone everyone can admire and look up to. I'm 52 and for him to overcome the adversity he has, is without a doubt in my opinion the true definition of a hero.
I remember clearly when i was a kid seeing him and his brother play for OCN BLIZZARDS of the MJHL.I was always excited to go to the games especially when the TOOTOO brothers were in town at the DMCC ARENA in Dauphin.They always gave us a show!!!!Great video you inspired People especially kids!!You came a long way and I'm very proud of you
@@Yofuggindaddybich He played in Milwaukee in the AHL in his early 20s. Early 20s would be considered a kid to a lot of people so I’m guessing that’s what he meant
Barely made contact with Miller on that play. Terrible call and commentating. Someone on here calls him a coward..lol.. A coward would be better described someone hiding behind their keyboard talking shit. Great video btw thanks. Always liked Tootoo since his Jr days. Amazing how tough he is and can handle himself with his size.
@@dwightscout4569 Absolutely true we have even had men and women raped and murdered the killer caught but judges let them walk that absolutely true can found if Googled
This is a movie quality story. I saw him play for Milwaukee a few times. Fan favorite here. Someone please get this story into a movie script! I had no idea he lost his brother, had problems with alcohol, or that he was a lost wandering soul. This would make a great feel good movie no doubt.
He is a very humble and kind man with an incredible story. Happy I got to meet him. All the best in all you do. Kinanaskomtin - Thank you in my Woodland Cree language.
I have to say it was great to work with him. He was a lot of fun and didn't hold back if you asked him. He gave it all. A commercial I shot with him for the Nashville Predators ticket push produced by GS&F where I got checked by him for 9 takes. I loved the pounding he gave me... I asked for it. Here is the link: ua-cam.com/video/OwaUTGYBGd8/v-deo.html Thanks Ray Zate for this doc... It's awesome!
He didn’t actually check Miller. He was guilty of going to the net in a way that goalie contact was inevitable. He did let up I think all real hockey players could see that obviously. If he actually hit Miller there would be no way Miller would have fared so well.
I don't get how the Ryan Miller incident looks to anyone the way idiot Sabres announcers make it sound like. Physics and momentum are not their strong suits, eh? "He lost the puck!" Yeah, .1 seconds before the collision as he drove the net. You know, driving the net, like every one of these guys has been drilled since they were three-year-olds? I'm not a Tootoo or Nashville fan and love Ryan Miller, but come on now. He did nothing wrong.
sabres announcers and about 70% of fans on UA-cam have trouble understanding physics and momentum with regard to just body checking! I see “he left his feet” on a weekly basis.
indeed, welcome to Chicago, he a unique piece we need. someone to protect Kane and Toews, and be able to eat up minutes while being able to produce enough
deadly, used to watch him when he was in juniors, he played for the Brandon Wheat Kings, knew from the first time i seen him skate, he was destined for the NHL!
Are you from Nashville? I'm from Canada and it makes me happy knowing there are hockey fans in warmer climates where they played hockey or watched hockey from just intrest as apposed to having to cuz we are surrounded by frozen water.
I’m always surprised that there aren’t more indigenous players at high levels. The nhl etc. A lot of native communities need more sports support. As a country we are missing out on undeveloped talent.
According to Wikipedia on Jordin: Jordin John Kudluk Tootoo MSM is a Canadian former professional hockey player, who played for the Nashville Predators, Detroit Red Wings, New Jersey Devils and Chicago Blackhawks. Of Inuit, Ukrainian and English descent, he is the first Inuk player to play in the National Hockey League. I thought Chris Simons was native. Oh, I guess Ink and "native" are different designation.
upgrayddable If the devils had been able to keep Kovalchuk and co. then brunner would've been a nice fit but once they were relying on him for top minutes it was all over
and I agree with the one guy who commented it. Those commentators were tools. didn't even take into consideration the defender didn't help the play but made it worse. Not saying T was completely in the right, but he left his feet to maybe jump around, not leave his feet to lay Miller out
He seems to be a nice guy and a cool ambassador for his people. Loved his calls about why they are so short in Nanuvat, and being an Eskimo cruising around Nashville with a harpoon gun. Tough bastard as well, boy could he throw down the fists... sheesh.
What a class act. Love this guy his story is heartbreaking but filled with hope. I'd love to meet this guy he seems cool as fuck. And fartsack is my new favourite word haha
Jordan Tootoo the man gotta Luv him he can play on my team anytime, sure don't wanna play against him. The NHL should have a outdoor game in his home town, right on the Arctic Ocean .
Only place he'd really fit on the team would be a replacement for Peluso. With Petan and Ehlers coming up next year we already have to make changes to the top 3 lines.
hit the like button before even playing the video. Tootoo's a good dude.
Love your videos man :)
he really is, and I love the fact that he keeps his roots close to him. happy to see he outgrew the "booze& broads" phase of his career
👍🏽👍🏽
The Mook I look at his face and I know. He's real, amongst all the fake MF'S.
@@emmaduncan2991 It's not "out growing", it's overcoming trauma.
This guy will never know what he has personally done for me and my life.

I was sad when he left Detroit. We loved him here!
They didn't use him enough.
Who ever didn’t like this your not human
15:30 As a Sabres fan, I can say with confidence that was more on Erhoff riding him in to Miller than Tootoo "intentionally" running him.
I remember clearly when i was a kid seeing him and his brother play for OCN BLIZZARDS of the MJHL.I was always excited to go to the games especially when the TOOTOO brothers were in town at the DMCC ARENA in Dauphin.They always gave us a show!!!!Great video you inspired People especially kids!!You came a long way and I'm very proud of you
11jrroy i went to
It's cool to see people from Manitoba
The jerseys are still here in OCN at the GLMC
I remember Jordan when he was a kid playing in Milwaukee. He was so fun to watch.
Milwaukee thought it said he was from Canada lol
@@Yofuggindaddybich He played in Milwaukee in the AHL in his early 20s. Early 20s would be considered a kid to a lot of people so I’m guessing that’s what he meant
So proud of you inuk you can honestly accomplish so much without alcohol I'm so proud a big fan from Cambridge bay Nunavut

A coward would be better described someone hiding behind their keyboard talking shit. Great video btw thanks. Always liked Tootoo since his Jr days. Amazing how tough he is and can handle himself with his size.
I think the most over looked part is he assumed he would be bumped heavily during the play and the momentum would probably take him behind the net.
Plus he's 1st nation....we are judged 24 hours 7 days a week..,
@@dwightscout4569 Absolutely true we have even had men and women raped and murdered the killer caught but judges let them walk that absolutely true can found if Googled
down to earth, genuine and has earned his stripes. This is a man.
exactly..Jordin is a standup guy..
So very sorry for your brother, could not fathom losing one of mine..., you make him proud.., such a warrior and a man of kindness, God bless You
One of my all time favourite hockey players, Toootoo is the man
This is a movie quality story. I saw him play for Milwaukee a few times. Fan favorite here. Someone please get this story into a movie script! I had no idea he lost his brother, had problems with alcohol, or that he was a lost wandering soul. This would make a great feel good movie no doubt.
I met him twice and he lives close to were I live to he's a pretty nice person
Proud to be inuk like you !!!!
+Leblanc Jessica
I go down to Rankin every 2 weeks since then, I'm a big Tootoo fan!
He is a very humble and kind man with an incredible story. Happy I got to meet him. All the best in all you do. Kinanaskomtin - Thank you in my Woodland Cree language.
what a down to earth player...love it.
Welcome to Chicago!
shoe in the house thing is actually so true.
Hawaiians are the opposite. Shoes in house no shoes outside. I can't wear shoes in the house
It's nice to hear, a players life story, told by himself. Thank you very much for sharing.
thanks for sharing this ... i saw the documentary about him and his brother...that was tragic
I have to say it was great to work with him. He was a lot of fun and didn't hold back if you asked him. He gave it all.

This guy is a cool dude. Didn’t like him for awhile, but he’s a survivor! Righteous man.
Jordin's an inspiration.
I always loved the style and heart Jordin played with. It's a shame he never played for my Flyers. He would've been a fan favorite here in Philly.
He didn’t actually check Miller. He was guilty of going to the net in a way that goalie contact was inevitable. He did let up I think all real hockey players could see that obviously. If he actually hit Miller there would be no way Miller would have fared so well.
What an absolute beauty 🤧
tootoo was my favorite playing in Milwaukee. everyone loved him here in Milwaukee. best of luck to him tho
I’ve always admired Tootoo…super tough and as humble as it gets…his story should be an inspiration to all the youth out there…
Im reading his book atm, good stuff, Toots talks about his early life in there. "All The Way : My Life on Ice" is the title
What a great story

Jay Lew not producing like I'd like to see.
True inspiration for his home community.
Nice documentary, I am glad Jords was part of the Detroit Red Wings.
What a beauty!! One of my favorite players for sure.
this dude is absolutely jacked
His book,was very interesting,and Jordan has a great voice.
Enjoy your retirement. You are a beauty!
This dude is a real one. Nothing but respect
deadly, used to watch him when he was in juniors, he played for the Brandon Wheat Kings, knew from the first time i seen him skate, he was destined for the NHL!
RawKit I like how they never mentioned the wheat kings
i remember watching tootoo in jrs what a machine
Those choo choo horns playing in the arena when he would come in. Great times in Nashville
A warrior,thank you sir for your story.❤
HANDSOME!!
Terance Tootoo couldve made the NHL , god rest his soul
I remembered the Tootoo brothers when they played for the OCN Blizzard
Great vid Jordin, I always imagine what if you went to mma Dana white would have been drooling over the promotional material.
My second fave pred of all time
tootoo rocks ....my fav player he plays hard and is real!!! a fan wherever he plays.good luck on tryout at the devils training camp....go tootoo!!!!

The nhl etc. A lot of native communities need more sports support. As a country we are missing out on undeveloped talent.
He reminds me of a first nations man I play hockey aginst. Very athletic and hard to play against. Just knows how to play the game with ease.
Yes you are spontaneous!! Jordin your the best and sweetest :)

If your situation seems hopeless, change your situation.
Damn I loved having this guy in red and White. There was nothing about him I didn't like. I wish him well where ever else he plays.
we've got him in our red and white :) let's go devils!
And Brunner! Good luck to you guys. Not too much though.
upgrayddable If the devils had been able to keep Kovalchuk and co. then brunner would've been a nice fit but once they were relying on him for top minutes it was all over
@@upgrayddable comments that aged like milk. What a joke Brunner turned out to be
@@wings193 I mean I wished NJ some luck. I didn't really make a prediction about Brunner's long term value to the Devils.
and I agree with the one guy who commented it. Those commentators were tools. didn't even take into consideration the defender didn't help the play but made it worse. Not saying T was completely in the right, but he left his feet to maybe jump around, not leave his feet to lay Miller out
Tootoo you sure did it , went all the way , you are the man , good job buddy . You did it . Donny from Quilchena BC
I remember Jordin TooToo in the world juniors, good times..
I remember him playing for the brandon wheat kings.
He was a beast back then
Always been a huge toots fan
he was pushed from behind and he was jumping over , miller dint even move
One tuff M'fr there
Rankin inlet nunavut Canada 🇨🇦 is my home town too. 👍👍👍👍👍🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

I hope to meet this great human someday.
he is a wolverine
i remember that my grandparent took care of them for awhile then they got traded to OCN
I loved watching Jordan tootoo in the world juniors, he was a beast!
Terrence TooToo. Never forget. Dokis First Nation.
Great guy.
What a class act. Love this guy his story is heartbreaking but filled with hope. I'd love to meet this guy he seems cool as fuck. And fartsack is my new favourite word haha
What an amazing person
I like his last comment at the end.
He was a beast on Nashville ‼️💪
One of the best guys you'd ever meet.
Weird he had ice in his glass at the foundation. You'd think he'd be sick of ice being so far north
It's so cool he ended up with his brothers number and his last name is (two,two) Tootoo! Crazy....
could someone give me the name of the very first music/track of this documentary ?
themostawesomepig 'this is reel life' by Daniel jordan
Brandon Freund thanks!
Amazing man well done Jordin 831 my like number :)
Toots your the man..wish you were an Edmonton oiler we need some security for mcjesus
+sam2013 sung foreal!
Arkanis Bawlz thats the most stupid comment on youtube
@KoivuTheHab salty little man
You are still missed by the Coach! !
Jordan Tootoo the man gotta Luv him he can play on my team anytime, sure don't wanna play against him. The NHL should have a outdoor game in his home town, right on the Arctic Ocean .
Come out of retirement tootoo and come play for the leafs
He said "errr" lmao jk
"Top cheese" and a class act.
use to watch him here in brandon manitoba when he played for the wheat kings
Not really a documentary. More like a "ride-along"
This is a great documentary but don't let it distract you from the fact that buddy had his shoes on in the house!
oh I think Nashville would have allowed Jordin, to walk around town with a harpoon, it is Tennessee, after all, now Chicago is another story.
Great Canadian
his traps are amazing lol
2020 Tootoo!!!
Love u Tootoo I'm Cree Aboriginal people
I wish my Jets would sign him! He is one hell of a hockey player
Only place he'd really fit on the team would be a replacement for Peluso. With Petan and Ehlers coming up next year we already have to make changes to the top 3 lines.
If he would come to us I would be stoked, though we're not too bad this year
Love this 🔥❤️🇨🇦✅🥰🤓
waaay to go Jordin! quvianaaktuuk
i remember when he used play for OCN
Fuckin TooToo, good soul brother
RIP ter
Tootoo is a badass! #nativepride
tootoo tootoo tootoo tootoo
Reminds me of Theo Fleury. Short but tough. Doesn't take no guff from nobody.
