Former NHL Hockey Player Starts Hemp Organization

While it is common for professional athletes to turn to charitable work after they leave athletics, former NHL player Riley Cote is in uncharted waters.  The ex-Philadelphia Flyer has decided to start organize a concert festival called “Hemp Heals”.  His view on hemp has been inspired by his sister and the healing she has found with hemp food products.  Cote’s sister suffers from MS.  The concert/festival will be held today so anyone in the Philadelphia area is encouraged to attend.  Hemp Heals aimed at promoting hemp awareness and education and will include high profile musical acts such as Sublime with Rome and longtime activists Cypress Hill.  Cote said he was not “a pothead” though did say he believed in the effectiveness of medical marijuana.  However, he seems inclined to focus on the many benefits of hemp.  Recently he said “People are foreign to it, but hemp is a superfood, like almonds.  It’s full of protein and fiber. I’m promoting industrial hemp as an eco-friendly material for clothing and a healthy food option.” Cote currently coaches the minor league hockey team “The Adirondack Phantoms” and looks as if his free time from coaching will be filled up with hemp activism.
