Flipped on NHL Network while having a quick sandwich and they were airing this. I absolutely could not turn it off. (I had to run so the last half is DVR'd).

Seeing what players of color went through in past decades - I'm at a loss for words. It's not only a glimpse into the history of hockey, but our culture as well.

I highly recommend this, and can't wait to see the rest of it.

Oh, and I hate summer, too - but we're just about through June!

Thanks for sharing this. This is a great contribution to the cultural history of hockey. A must watch for anyone interested in understanding the sport across time and shifting attitudes. One glaring omission: very little on Jerome Iginla.

Have to admit. Wish the Bs had picked Jaden Lodin. Looks like a hard working character guy. I don't see how he will fit into the PIT lineup.
