At 30 years old, Aliu is the most famous man in hockey still trying to prove that he can play. He doesn’t have millions of dollars or kids clamouring for his autograph. He won’t make the Hall of Fame. But he’s arguably done more to change the culture of the game than any other player in his generation.

I found this bit interesting. Who knows if he ever would have become a great player with all else aside, but if he could become an ambassor or advocate of sorts for raising awareness of prejudice in hockey culture, he could well end up becoming an iconic figure in the history of the sport. It'll be interesting to see how this all shakes out, hopefully for the betterment of traditionally marginalized minorities.
