There is no evidence for this and he later admitted he should have addressed all Canadians instead of solely immigrants. https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/28059815/hockey-icon-don-cherry-fired-immigrant-comments https://nationalpost.com/opinion/matt-gurney-don-cherry-was-right-about-one-thing-fewer-people-are-wearing-poppies https://globalnews.ca/news/6157812/don-cherry-you-people-rant-impact/amp/
