Don Cherry issues shocking statement on the five year anniversary oh his firing from HNIC

It has now officially been five years since Don Cherry was fired from Hockey Night in Canada due to his controversial take on the �Poppy.'

Five years after his departure from Hockey Night in Canada, Don Cherry hasn't changed one bit and has released a statement to his fan.

Recently Cherry issued a message to the hockey fans of Canada, stating that Canadians need to do more to appreciate the sacrifices that were made by the veterans who fought and defended for the freedom of the country of Canada.

Back in 2019, was when Don Cherry would part ways with �Coach's Corner' after he went on about his controversial plea about Canadians needing to wear poppies to acknowledge the importance of Remembrance Day.

Now, half a decade or so later, Cherry reveals he has no regrets about what was said about the poppy and still won't apologize for it either.

However, he does admit to missing the guys who are on the the panel today and how his exit from the panel was handled, as he believes he still could have had a few more good year before leaving.

And now, in Cherry's recent post he is calling on Canadiens to support the cause of Rememberande Day and to truly appreciate the men and women who fought to protect the freedom of Canadiens.

Down below is where you can watch Don Cherry's latest video that he directed to fans:
