From allegations of abuse against former coaches to hockey players stopping robberies, it’s been a heck of an interesting week around the NHL. I attempt to parse through it all in this Thursday’s edition of Links, News and Notes.
- Since coming forward with allegations of racial harassment against former Calgary Flames coach Bill Peters, Akim Aliu has transformed into a trailblazer trying to make the NHL a more inclusive league. He met with Gary Bettman and Bill Daly earlier this week to discuss the issues ingrained in hockey culture, and based on Aliu’s response, it seems like it went well.
