Just a quick msg to the hockey world. I usually don’t have time for this but tonight I do! I really don’t appreciate what your trying to do (Steve Simmons) your article was asinine and in no way reflects the real plight that my self, Akim and other players of colour go through.

Although I wasn’t able to make the NHL Awards last night I am more than thrilled to have won the Mark Messier Leadership Award, but as I sat on my couch with my wife and our newborn I was brought to tears by pricey and what he did for that young boy. I think it goes with out

Tonight my idol Willie O’Ree’s number 22 will be hung from the rafters (Finally). I can’t stress how much Mr O’Ree has meant to me and millions of other BIPOC kids who love the game of hockey… Congratulations MR O’Ree

You Are Minimizing the pain and suffering and dismissing the actual fight that we as a ppl actually have to endure just to even be accepted in the game of hockey at a lower level nvm the professional ranks. DO NOT EVER use my name or any other player of colour’s name to try and

We the @TheOfficialHDA have formally requested the @NHL to suspend all playoff games today. We strongly feel this sends a clear message that human rights take priority over sports.

Did not announce my retirement !!!
Spoke to Wayne Simmonds for an upcoming HDA story.
Without a contract this season, I asked about his playing future:
"I haven't officially announced my retirement, but I'm done. I had a great career. It was the best time I've ever had in my life. Right now, it's family time."

What an honor it was to be able to work on this project. Willie O’Ree had such a huge impact on the game of hockey and this is just a little way to celebrate a true pioneer. All proceeds from auction of skates and t-shirts goes to @BlackGirlHockey
Willie O’Ree is a hockey icon and hero who blazed a trail for future generations.
To honor the profound impact Willie made and continues to have on our sport, we partnered with @Simmonds17, @JTBrown23, Designer Terry Smith and NHL Agent Eustace King to create custom skates.
