Episode 44 - BLACK LIVES MATTER

Black Lives Matter. Black Lives Matter. BLACK LIVES MATTER. We discuss the new wave of the movement and then transition into talking about the absolute rampant racism in hockey. We put a bow on the discussion by talking about the new Hockey Diversity Alliance started by Akim Aliu, Evander Kane, Trevor Daley, Matt Dumba, Wayne Simmonds, Chris Stewart, and Joel Ward.
