On Wednesday, Evander Kane called the NHL's response to the shooting by police of 29-year-old Jacob Blake, an unarmed Black man, in Kenosha, Wis. "insulting."
After seeing three NBA playoff games, three WNBA games, three WNBA games, three MLB games and four MLS matches postponed Wednesday, the NHL proceeded as scheduled with their full slate of games for the day.
On Thursday morning, Kane, on behalf of the Hockey Diversity Alliance, pushed for the league to suspend all playoff action today on Twitter.
We the @TheOfficialHDA have formally requested the @NHL to suspend all playoff games today.
