Don Cherry is always one to speak his mind, and now he's up against the length or training camp, saying it's not long enough which is leading to many injuries. Don <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl-team/toronto-maple-leafs/don-cherry-absolutely-rips-into-the-leafs-regarding-auston-matthews-captaincy' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Cherry is a household name</a> and a long-time host of Hockey Night in Canada, as well as a former head coach of the Boston Bruins. In addition to his thorough knowledge of hockey, he was candid with his opinions and even flashier with his bold sense of style. Flashy suits and blunt, often controversial remarks have made the man polarizing, both admired and criticized alike by fans and media. Love him or hate him, Cherry's voice defined the world of hockey. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/dkreative1/status/1296816940988669953'> </a></blockquote></div> After he retired from television in November 2019, Cherry didn't exactly ride off into the sunset. Instead, <a href='https://www.hockeylatest.com/nhl/news/don-cherry-reveals-to-fans-he-is-making-a-comeback-for-the-2024-25-nhl-season' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>he did a podcast</a> called Grapevine, a play off his nickname, Grapes. No longer gracing the airwaves of CBC and Sportsnet, he still had much to say about his love for hockey on the podcast, where he would speak on the game he loves. During a recent Grapevine segment, Cherry went so far as to blame the NHL's abbreviated training camps for the rash of injuries around the league. Like he's often prone to, Cherry pulled no punches. He blamed the shorter training camps on the direct reason player safety is in jeopardy, and if they allow the teams more time to get ready for the season, that's something that will keep athletes from getting injured. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/CoachsCornerDC/status/1848150646723121281'> </a></blockquote></div> Predictably, <a href='https://www.bladeofsteel.com/nhl/news/don-cherry-rips-into-nhl-for-outrageous-training-camps-says-it-time-for-change' class='lien_marqueur' target='_blank' rel='noopener'>Cherry's recent comments</a> have reignited debate within the hockey community. Where he wholeheartedly believes longer training camps serve to keep players on the ice and off the injury reserve, fans and analysts have made both cases for and against whether the current schedule is an adequate prelude to what has become the physically demanding National Hockey League. The outspoken Cherry, as usual, has both his detractors and defenders; however, he remains unruffled while true to his words. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/KamilKaramali/status/1193391318275383296'> </a></blockquote></div> His television career ended in controversy when he was removed from Hockey Night in Canada following remarks about immigrants and poppy-wearing on Remembrance Day. Don Cherry remains a loud voice in the world of hockey. While Cherry's comments continue to polarize, he enjoys a very devoted following, and he is still one of the primary figures in the world of hockey via his podcast.
