The life and destructive legacy of Graham James
IT’S an image that came to haunt Ivano Buccini.
The longtime teacher at Silver Heights Collegiate recalled being impressed in the early 1980s after watching Graham James help a young hockey player with his homework in a classroom. I remember thinking, ‘Wow, what a great coach to take this kind of interest,’ said Buccini, who died of cancer in March.
About this series
Graham James was last seen in a courtroom in the summer of 2015.
Appearing via video link from a Quebec prison, the disgraced junior hockey coach pleaded guilty in a Swift Current courtroom to sexual assault on one of his players during the early 1990s, and was sentenced to two additional years behind bars.
