Quotation of the Day for March 23, 2018"You played hockey to make a living. I couldn't get a job in Vernon because I was Chinese. There was a lot of discrimination in those days against Chinese people, Greek people, Ukrainian people." - Larry Kwong, recalling life in British Columbia in the 1940s. Kwong, who died recently at age 94, was the first hockey player of Asian descent to appear in an NHL game, in 1948.
