Yeah, he is. He's a big defenseman too.
He has the same last name as my grandmother, I'm gonna claim him as family.

There will be several familiar hockey surnames like Subban, Domi and Cassels playing in the world under-17 challenge in Windsor, Ont. next week. Another player with a sporting connection of a different kind will be Team Ontario defenceman Darnell Nurse of the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds.
His father Richard was a receiver with the Hamilton Tiger-Cats and the family's impressive athletic bloodlines don't stop there. His mother Cathy played basketball at McMaster University. His 23-year-old sister Tamika played basketball at Bowling Green and Oregon. His younger sister Kia, 15, is a star at St. Thomas More Secondary in Hamilton, and led the Ontario under-15 squad to a national title last summer.
Also, Nurse's uncle just happens to be Donovan McNabb. Richard's sister met the NFL quarterback when the two attended Syracuse University.

I always knew his wife has that last name, but I would have never guessed McNabb was Darnell's uncle.
These black hockey players have great bloodlines. Mike Grier's dad is former Pro Bowl DT Rosey Grier. Just imagine if Lebron were to put his kids in hockey.
