    It’s every athletes dream to be on the cover of @SInow . Today my dream became reality. On the real though, I wouldn’t be here without my brothers on the @TheOfficialHDA so I thank them from the bottom of my heart. COVER FEATURE ON THE SHELVES THURSDAY.

    Yo, real talk @erictrump, you’re the last guy the NHL and the hockey world want support from. It’s not real patriotism if you’re using it to divide us.

    I’ve watched you from afar and never said anything for two main reasons. 1 being the respect I have for your brothers and parents & 2 I’ve always wanted to keep the in fighting between folks of color to a minimum. This was something I couldn’t let go - I’ve known you since I

    During these difficult past few months, I’ve done lots of thinking and self reflection, and decided to tell the story of my own journey in my own words. I hope this will inspire the next generation of athletes when things return to normal. #TimeToDream

    When Colin Kaepernick takes a knee for social justice,John Tortorella says he will bench any player on his team that does the same. But now, Provorov “did nothing wrong” & as per usual, NHL’s response is 🤷🏽‍♂️.At least pick a side. Is “Hockey for Everyone” or only when it suits you?

    Can we STOP saying Hockey is for everyone. I know that’s the NHL’s mantra & it’s what they want you to believe, but as we continue to witness, it’s simply not true. How about we say “Let’s Make Hockey for everyone”. Let’s admit our shortcomings & strive for something tangible.

    Talked to @43_Kadri About his inadvertent collision w Binnington. Naz has been subject to so many racist attacks and threats since last night that police had to be brought in. Racist attacks like this have no place in hockey and should be investigated and reported on.

    Praying for my motherland Ukraine & all its people. It’s where my brother and mother were born, where I spent a decade as a child, where I have friends & family. My 90 year old gramps, who we thankfully got out in time is next to me in shock. The unlawful invasion must end 🇺🇦🙏🏽

    Y’all read this and tell me hockey doesn’t have major problems. No one else will say it but I will. A Black, or player of color would NEVER get a pass or be forgiven for something like this. EVER!

    Can you imagine what would happen if this was black people storming the capitol building.... Sad sad day for America. I believe Trump didn’t change the people that support him, I believe he exposed who they really are.
