New HDA campaign uses graphic slurs to confront racism in hockey – Rick Westhead (TSN)
The ad, conceived by HDA sponsor Budweiser Canada, highlights the slurs that have been used against the HDA’s members, who include Toronto Maple Leaf Wayne Simmonds, Minnesota Wild Matt Dumba, Florida Panther Anthony Duclair and former NHL players Akim Aliu, Chris Stewart and Trevor Daley.
A censored 60-second version of the ad, in which the slurs are completely clouded out to comply with broadcasting requirements, will air Saturday night on Hockey Night in Canada.
The ad itself is pretty stark, as is the discussion of how little the NHL and NHLPA wanted to really help in this.
Evander Kane expected to file grievance over contract termination – Sportsnet
