The 3 questions I picked about the article of Jordin Tootoo are:

1. Are there viewpoints that are overrepresented, or underrepresented? Yes. I believe large aspects of Jordin's personal life are underrepresented in this article. There is very little mention of his late brother, which was an extremely important aspect towards shaping his life. As well as almost no mention of the book he wrote while going through a recovery faze after his rehab stint. Another point that i saw no mention of at all is the Team Tootoo foundation that he started as a non-profit.

2. Is everything in the article relevant to the article topic? Everything in the article is relevant to the life of Jordin. It doesnt go into great detail of his life but everything that is there is relevant from his hockey career, his presence as a Inuk native and his hard times he has faced.

3. Is there any information missing or is there any information that is outdated? The statistics they have for Jordin's NHL career are outdated in this article. The Team Tootoo foundation has no mention in this article as well as an abundance of missing information in regards to his book and how he battled back and is serving as a role model for his home community and others just like it.

- his stats are not updated.

- how has he become a role model for the youth in Nunavut

- there is no description about what his book is about

In my article selected a huge aspect that is under represented is the story of the death of Jordin's brother at the age of 22 due to suicide. Jordin's brother, Terrence, was his best friend and when we passed on he left a note for his younger brother "Jor. Go all the way. Take care of the family. You're the man, Ter,".

Jordin Started Team Tootoo which is a nonprofit foundation to support Suicide Prevention efforts along with alcohol abuse and to help other by speaking out about his story hoping it will help others with their own personal demons

On October 21, 2014, Jordin published his book titled; All The Way: My Life on Ice. he began to write the book as part of his healing process following his release from rehab which he entered in 2010.

Nearing the end of the 2016-2017 NHL season, Tootoo has racked up 64 goals, 96 assists and 1008 PIMs in 717 career NHL games since entering the league in 2003.

In 2012 during the NHL hockey lockout Jordin Tootoo took it upon himself to head up to his home town of Rankin Inlet, Nunavut in order to host the first Team Tootoo hockey camp for the local kids. Jordin's main focus of the camp was making sure the kids were having fun and being able to enjoy themselves as a community. “It’s going to be a really positive atmosphere. You’re going to learn hockey skills, but you’re also going to learn life skills and teamwork,” he said.

In 2015 the New Jersey Devils nominated Jordin for the 2015 NHL Foundation Player Award. Jordin's recognition comes from all the work his Team Tootoo Foundation has done in his hometown of Rankin Inlet, Nunavut and nationally. The inspiration that motivated Jordin to start his foundation in 2011 was the suicide of his older brother Terence back in 2002. The main focus of The Team Tootoo Fund is to raise awareness for suicide prevention and anti-bullying programs for youths at risk. Having dealt with mental illness and suicide himself in the past he believes to be a strong influence for individuals struggling, often speaking out and sharing his story.
