Article on the ad, the HDA absolutely ####s on the NHL for being an obstacle in performing any meaningful action.

That was a raw, well done video. I'd use that tape. Neat seeing their contact location is here in Calgary.
Also liked they didn't have Evander Kane anywhere in that video.

Note that the NHL is "supportive" but not "involved". Whatever that means.

A bunch of old white guy owners don't wanna admit their own racism?

Im really surprised Sportsnet had the balls to air that Aliu piece. Good on him. And good on them.

It was quite interesting to hear about it. Aliu was genuinely annoyed that all the minorities didn't stand up for it, which is fine, but he should know that people have different motivations, and not all motivations are nefarious. Sometimes minorities just don't want to be seen as such, which another approach - neither good or bad. But there's room for both sides.
