players of colour at the 2017 nhl all star game

question re: hockey

So after the MASS INFLUX OF HOCKEY that is me posting shit from the All-Star Game, I feel I need to ask: regular non-hockey people who are (for some unknown reason) following me, is there too much hockey? Should I do a sideblog?

Carey Price on when he knew that he was beat by Ryan Kesler’s son: “About when he touched the puck. He had that look in his eyes.”

I went into some buildings and you heard the boos and the racial remarks but that kinda geared me up. I was called the N-word so many times that I thought it was a compliment, you know (laughs) So I just went out and played. […] They had never seen a black man on the ice. I just told myself: “Just go out and play and try to represent the hockey club at the best of your ability. And if the fans can’t see that then don’t worry about it.” I am a black man. I know when I look in the mirror that I am a black man. Nobody needs to tell me that.
