Clips of Don Cherry's past controversial moments on Hockey Night in Canada over the years.
#1 @0:01 This clip is in reference to Chicago Blackhawks’ defenceman Duncan Keith making what some termed a sexist comment in a post-game interview with Vancouver broadcaster Karen Thomson of Team 1040. Cherry argued the reporter shouldn’t have been in the dressing room to begin with.
#2 @0:22 this clip from 2007 was in reference to Islanders' player Chris Simon, who is Ojibwa, receiving a 25-game suspension.
#3 @0:38 In May, 1993, Quebec MP Vincent Della Noce calls for the House of Commons to censure Cherry for “taking a malicious pleasure in ridiculing francophones.”
#4 @0:49 In October, 1991 he sparks anger among Quebec politicians when he defends Eric Lindros’ decision to shun the Quebec Nordiques: “They don’t want our signs . . . they don’t want our language and then they can’t understand why an 18-year-old kid from Ontario doesn’t want to go there. Get with it.”
#5 @1:18 “When you come to the games, keep your eyes on the puck. I’m telling ya, I’ve seen some awful smacks, and it’s always a woman yapping away there. Look at the game,” Cherry said in this undated clip.
