The star netminder told 680 News he believes not many Canadians are aware of what residential schools were.
Lynda Price, Carey s mother, is chief of the Ulkatcho First Nation in northern B.C. and he says sharing stories about experiences at residential schools makes her emotional.
He adds that residential schools have had a snowball effect on generations of Indigenous people.
The federal government has pledged further support for the identification and investigation of burial grounds near former residential schools after allocating $27 million in 2019, in the wake of unmarked graves being found in several provinces. That part of our history in Canada was not covered very well, Price said from Kelowna, B.C.

Kraken could find Fleury-like impact in NHL Expansion Draft
