Veteran hockey player and sports pundit receives honorary doctorate degree from Saint Mary’s University, Halifax.

Last Friday, Saint Mary’s honoured Dawson with an honorary Doctor of Laws Degree for his advocacy work in hockey and his community.

“I wished that my parents were still alive to have witnessed this,” said Dawson. “They would’ve witnessed an honour bestowed on a man who has made an enormous contribution to Black History and history in general in his home province.”
