One of the most-feared enforcers of his era (Check his fight reel here), Laraque, who attained over 1,000 penalty minutes in his NHL career, has now moved on to a more peaceful retirement. An outspoken vegan and environmental activist, Laraque was deputy leader of Canada’s Green Party, co-owns a couple of vegan restaurants and has written a successful autobiography.
