Jordin Tootoo is a Canadian former professional hockey player. The first Inuk to play in the NHL, Jordin enjoyed a 15-year career in the sport, mostly with the Nashville Predators.

It was not a road without difficulty. Jordin lost his older brother to suicide and fought a battle of his own with substance abuse. The struggles shaped the man he became and set the course for his life after hockey. They are why he wrote his best-selling memoir, All The Way: My Life On Ice, and founded Team Tootoo to help at-risk Indigenous youth.

While he travels the world sharing his journey, the land, where his ancestors lived for centuries following caribou and bird migrations, is a deep source of grounding for Jordin. It is how he connects to his culture and his family—how he recharges so he can help others do the same.
