The 2002 draftee played over 1000 games spread across Dallas, Detroit, Chicago, and Pittsburgh where he'd win back-to-back cups. He breaks down why his tenure in Chicago was short-lived, how it felt to have Crosby hand him the cup, and his work with the Hockey Diversity Alliance, and how being a mixed- affected his life. He also details the imfamous John Vanbiesbrouck situation and the racial comments that led to John being fired and his jersey recently taken down in Sault Ste. Marie.

Anthony Duclair joins the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast! But before we get to Duclair (1:04:33), who talks about his involvement with the “Black Ice” documentary, getting Joe Thornton to center him next year, and the Hockey Diversity Alliance/Evander Kane drama – Keegan McNally and Sheng Peng talk about the biggest San Jose Sharks' news of the week. First, we got the latest Erik Karlsson trade rumors out of the way (2:30). We recorded this episode yesterday, so we didn't talk about the Toronto Maple Leafs or Seattle Kraken's now-confirmed interest in Karlsson. Then, we drilled down on Martin Kaut's accusations that a San Jose Barracuda coach tried to get him to fight in every game (8:36). It must be mentioned that the San Jose Sharks categorically deny Kaut's claims. Sheng talked with about a dozen league sources to get their opinion of Kaut's claims and to investigate if there's a deeper problem with the Barracuda. Did the Barracuda try to coerce Kaut to fight every night (13:56)? Sheng and Keegan agree with Kaut that there were Barracuda youngsters who were playing for themselves (23:19). Keegan felt it was team that lacked discipline, and Sheng adds that “selfish” young players are normal at the AHL level. Sheng also thinks there was validity to Kaut's problem with the Sharks' contract offer, but it speaks to a larger question with how Mike Grier and Doug Wilson appear to be operating differently (28:14). What do Jeffrey Viel, Jonah Gadjovich, Ryan Carpenter, Andrew Agozzino, Evgeny Svechnikov, and Jacob Peterson have to do with all this? Through it all, Kaut still wants to return to the NHL, and translated from the original Czech interview with Robert Rampa, had an interesting quote about his new HC Dynamo Pardubice head coach, former San Jose Sharks draft pick Vaclav Varada (37:30). Moving beyond the Kaut story, Sheng digs into how all of the Cuda veterans left this off-season, and if that's a red flag for a “culture” problem within the organization (39:23). Sheng talked to top AHL reporter Patrick Williams of NHL and AHL.com on his perception about what's going on with the Barracuda. Sheng expanded on what he's heard about the departures of Agozzino (43:05), Montana Onyebuchi (45:06), and Viel (46:35). Sheng then talked about JD Young's recent Locked On Sharks podcast about the Barracuda's culture problem (50:02). Sheng talked about AHL norms with meals (51:37) and seating wives and girlfriends (53:58), which were issues brought up in JD's podcast – and how it doesn't appear that the Cuda have been doing anything unusual in those areas. There was one random Joe Will complaint that Sheng got from his sources (56:45). Besides Kaut's fighting allegations, however, Sheng doesn't think there's a significant culture problem with the Barracuda (59:10). They aren't necessarily considered a first-class AHL organization, and there are areas where they can improve, but they're not necessarily dysfunctional or problematic either. “The Barracuda are just another AHL organization.” Now, Anthony Duclair (1:04:33)! Duclair talks about “Black Ice”, a hockey documentary that details the gut-wrenching racism that Duclair and his peers faced in youth hockey (1:05:13). “Black Ice”, produced by LeBron James and Drake, is out now, exclusively at AMC Theatres – it's also the story of the pre-20th century Colored Hockey League, and its many innovations. Sheng discusses his reaction to the documentary. Duclair talks about the first time that he was subjected to racist remarks from another youth team's parents – he was just nine or 10! – and how often he had to deal with that as a kid (1:07:15). Duclair shares the message from his parents that got him through the racism (1:11:45). Through his Duclair Foundation, Anthony held youth hockey camps in Florida and Montreal this summer, and he talked about how racism is still a real thing for kids playing today (1:13:10). Keegan asks Duclair if he's going to try to get Joe Thornton to center him next year. Duclair revealed that throughout the Florida Panthers' Stanley Cup Final run, Thornton would frequently FaceTime with his ex-Panthers teammates (1:16:00). Duclair shares his thoughts about Givani Smith (1:18:39), who's coming with him from Florida. He also touches on his chat with head coach David Quinn and GM Mike Grier after the trade (1:19:30) – Duclair revealed what he told them was his goal this season (1:20:25). Duclair added his thoughts about the recent Evander Kane/Hockey Diversity Alliance Twitter spat (1:20:48). And…is Duclair Barbie or Oppenheimer (1:23:48)?Listen to the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast — it's a new link — on Apple Podcasts and Spotify and Google Podcasts.Subscribe to the San Jose Hockey Now Podcast YouTube channel, we're trying to get over 1K subscribers! ★ Support this podcast ★

The Sota Pod Podcast Episode 336

Nielson and Gazzola are back with another episode of the Oil Stream, presented by Popeyes Louisiana Kitchen on the Nielson Media Coolbet Network! The boy start the episode by comparing the 2023 Elks to the Decade of Darkness Oilers teams. Has the football team finally surpassed that ten year stretch of disappointment?  For the Boston Pizza Appetizer the boys dive into Evander Kane's statement and decision to step away from the Hockey Diversity Alliance. Gazzola's heard a few things that makes it look like the HDA is in a whole lot of trouble at the top.  Did Raphael Lavoie hurt his chances of making the Oilers by accepting his qualifying offer?  Lane Pederson and Drake Cagguila have chosen their Oilers numbers but will they actually be on the team come opening night?  

When Akim Aliu was a young boy, he and his family moved to Canada. His parents wanted a better life for their two sons. Akim's father is Nigerian, and his mother Ukrainian. Whether they lived in Ukraine, Nigeria, or Canada, the family faced discrimination and bigotry. Things didn't improve when Akim developed a love of ice hockey. Money was tight, and the sport wasn't welcoming to children of color. Still, Akim's parents did everything they could to help him follow his dreams. Akim made it all the way to the National Hockey League. But he faced systemic racism at every level of the game. He's now speaking out in the hope that a new generation of young athletes won't have to endure the brutality he did. In this Black History Month episode, Akim talks with host Suzanne McCabe about Dreamer, his new graphic memoir for 8- to 12-year-olds. Co-authored by Greg Anderson Elysée, the book is illustrated by Karen De La Vega and Marcus Williams, and published by Scholastic Graphix and Kaepernick Publishing. Akim also founded the Time to Dream Foundation and is co-chairman of the Hockey Diversity Alliance, where he continues his mission of broadening access and eradicating racism in youth sports. → Resources Dreamer (https://www.amazon.com/Akim-Aliu-Dreamer-Original-Graphic/dp/1338787608/ref=sr_1_1?crid=2LEWB9Q8MJEDX&keywords=Dreamer+Akim+Aliu&qid=1675802317&sprefix=dreamer+akim+aliu%2Caps%2C148&sr=8-1): Akim's graphic memoir for 8- to 12-year-olds is co-authored by Greg Anderson Elysée and illustrated by Karen De La Vega and Marcus Williams.

Racism in the NHL (https://www.nytimes.com/2020/05/23/sports/hockey/akim-aliu-nhl-racism.html): As this New York Times article explains, Akim publicly addressed racism in the hockey world in 2020. 35 Books for Black History Month (https://www.scholastic.com/teachers/teaching-tools/book-lists/29-books-for-black-history-month-.html): These titles for grades K-12 celebrate individuals whose contributions have changed the world. → Highlights Akim Aliu, co-author, Dreamer “The whole goal around doing this book was to inspire the next generation of kids who look like me, Black and Brown kids, but also at the same time, the kids who are socio-economically disadvantaged. My story is one that had a lot of trials and tribulations, but I also learned a lot through my journey.” “It's a book to inspire people who are going through tough times, to know that anything is possible. I'm a kid who was born in Africa who ended up making it to the NHL.” “Hockey . . . is my passion, and it's my love. I'm glad I got those $10 pair of skates, because they gave me an opportunity to be where I am today.” “Starting at such an early age, at 11, 12 years old, and hearing the N-word being hurled at you, and not being able to do anything about it…. The hardest thing about it was just never, ever playing with anybody else who looked like me.” “In my 12 years that I played professionally, I played with one other player of color…. There's not really anybody to turn to that you can have a conversation with, that would understand what you're going through.” “There are a lot of kids who look like me and come from the areas that I come from that also deserve an opportunity and deserve not to be excluded from our game.” “For me, dreaming and faith go hand in hand because . . . it's believing in something that you can't yet see.” “I hope kids don't give up on their dreams.” → Special Thanks Producer: Constance Gibbs Sound engineer: Daniel Jordan Music composer: Lucas Elliot Eberl → Coming Soon Ruchira Gupta: I Kick and I Fly Brian Selznick: Big Tree

Steve Simmons' take on Akim Aliu was dangerous says Omar on the latest episode of Zone Time but the response from Wayne Simmonds and Nazem Kadri amongst others shows that the Hockey Diversity Alliance is united in its fight to rid hockey of racism.Ahead of the 2022-23 NHL season, the crew also make some early predictions for league MVP, rookie of the year and Stanley Cup finalists. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

On this episode, I'm joined by Ben Meiselas, prominent civil rights and sport lawyer, attorney and business partner of Colin Kaepernick, co-founder of Meidas Touch, an independent pro-democracy media network, and an advisor to the Hockey Diversity Alliance.After winning the Stanley Cup with the Colorado Avalanche, Nazem Kadri told the international television audience that "for everybody that thought I was a liability these playoffs...you can kiss my a-s."   Earlier in the playoffs, Kadri, the only Muslim player in the NHL, accidentally injured the goalie for the St. Louis Blues, leading to a a torrent of racist messages and death threats from fans on social media.   Ben Meiselas joins me to discuss the Kadri incident, the formation of the Hockey Diversity Alliance by a group of hockey players of color, and the daunting question facing the NHL: why does the league have such a diversity problem, and what can be done to fix it?  We also talk about Colin Kaepernick and his prospects of playing in the NFL again.

It is really unfortunate what is going on in St. Louis currently with the Blues and Avalanche series. On Saturday night the Avs Nazem Kadri collided with Blues goalie Jordan Binnington. Binnington hurt his knee and is out for the rest of the series. No penalty was called, and the league reviewed the play and determined no suspension, or fine was warranted. Kadri has a reputation as a dirty player and has been suspended in the past for dirty hits. Kadri is a founding member of the Hockey Diversity Alliance. an organization of current and former players seeking to eradicate racism from the game. Since the incident Kadri has received many threats and racist attacks. Kadri is a Muslim of Lebanese decent. It has been so bad the St Louis Police department has stationed officers in front of the team hotel. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Evander Kane is a complicated person. The NHL veteran has been a force within the league ever since he was drafted #4 overall back in 2009. He's known for doing community work, he co-founded the Hockey Diversity Alliance, and he has been one of the NHL's most vocal players when it comes to issues of race and racism. But then, there are the controversies. Massive debts and bankruptcy. Multiple accusations of domestic violence and sexual assault. A long suspension over a faked vaccination card. And reports that he is a toxic presence in the locker room. So why did the Edmonton Oilers, who have arguably the two best players in the world, sign him? And how is this experiment likely to end? The Athletic's Daniel Nugent-Bowman joins us to discuss.More from Daniel Nugent-Bowman:https://theathletic.com/author/daniel-nugent-bowman/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

If Keegan Mitchell had just kept his head down and played hockey, none of this would have happened. And we'd all be worse off for it. But when the junior player stood up for a teammate who was called a racial slur, and then broke the league's social media policy by condemning the matching suspensions the two players received, an otherwise ugly part of the game was dragged into the spotlight. Now Hockey PEI is promising to do better, and players from the Hockey Diversity Alliance are reaching out to Mitchell to thank him for demonstrating how the culture can change. And where it starts.GUEST: Keegan Mitchell, Sherwood Metros

He's also the 2019 recipient of the NHL's Willie O'Ree Community Hero Award, an a nnual recognition by the NHL “to an individual who – through the game of hockey – has positively impacted his or her community, culture or society.” We sit down with Rico and discuss some difficult situations he has faced personally as a ref and player, the support the NHL gave when Rico sought to grow his Flint Inner City Youth Hockey Program, guidance he's received from Willie O'Ree, and actions all of us – no matter our role and background – can take to become involved or more involved in making hockey a more diverse, equitable, and inclusive sport.
