Gino Odjick, seen here in 1996, is Marcus Odjick's uncle. He played with the Vancouver Canucks for eight seasons starting in 1990 before shorter stints with other teams. He died in January 2023. However, Hockey Outaouais has refused the necessary accommodation because Odjick did not participate in the AA camp before the start of the season."This year, he's ready for it, and I'm hoping they will let him play at his level," said Dina Odjick, Marcus's grandmother.A member of Kitigan Zibi, Marcus Odjick lives near Maniwaki, Que., about 130 kilometres north of Gatineau.
Marcus Odjick, nephew of NHL enforcer Gino Odjick, says he doesn't feel challenged playing in BB hockey. "When a solution exists, we should not be slowed down by fear of setting a precedent," he wrote in French.
