19-year-old Logan Prosper is a college student from Nova Scotia. A few years ago, Logan was subject to racial abuse from players and fans during a youth hockey game. That incident led Logan to create the Red Tape Movement.
Logan's father, Phillip, was speaking with a friend of
Brad Marchand's at a Red Tape game hosted by Saint Mary's University. Marchand's friend told Phillip that Brad was asking about Logan and the Red Tape Movement and was going to be sending him an autographed jersey.
Logan returned home from Halifax to a package from Marchand, and when he opened it up, it was that autographed jersey his dad said he was going to be getting. The jersey it included a special message, one that Logan was shocked to see. Marchand wrote part of the message in the Mi'kmaw language.
"My jaw dropped when I read it. I couldn't believe it, that he took the time to translate it into Mi'kmaw, that's what I couldn't believe," Prosper said.

The message read, 'Kelu'kw tela'teken wjit Red Tape', which translates to, 'Good work on the Red Tape.'
"He's my favourite player. We've been Bruins fans forever so that's what makes it so special."
Logan's father said that they plan to get a shadow box for the jersey and hang it on the wall of their Cape Breton home.
