One day after Flames coach Bill Peters apologized for using "offensive language" in an incident ten years ago, Akim Aliu is not pleased with the coach's statement.

Aliu took to Twitter on Thursday to share his reaction to Peters's apology.

"I have read the statement of Bill Peters, which I found to be misleading, insincere and concerning," Aliu said. "I have accepted an invitation from the NHL to meet and discuss this situation. Out of respect for that process, I will not respond publicly to that statement or discuss the racism and discrimination that I have endured until after my meeting.
