said the performance of our athletes at the games had a positive impact on their national pride. Put simply, hockeyBut if we’re using hockey to teach our kids Canadian values, we’re teaching them that Canada values the white and the hyper-masculine — and all deviation should be punished.Minor hockey in Canada has come to represent much more than just a training ground for our future star athletes.

“The issue of racism remains a significant barrier preventing individuals from participation in merited opportunities and the sense of belongingness said to be drawn from the sport,” writes English.I’ve been on the outside as much as I’ve been in. Being on the outskirts of traditional racial categories means existing in a little grey area that allows you to both benefit and suffer from white supremacy, but also better understand how it informs every every aspect of racialized lives.

I did what I had to do to survive in a group of boys who were generally bigger, stronger and whiter than me. I was raised by this culture, but never let it define me.The writer played AAA for the Eastern Ontario Wild for four years before quitting minor hockey. I’ll always love hockey. It‘s brought me lifelong friends, taken me to beautiful places and instilled in me intangible qualities I carry with me everywhere I go. I miss aspects of it dearly, like being among players who would take a puck to the face for their teammate.

tylerxgriffin RACIST PROPAGANDA

tylerxgriffin What BS! If you can play who cares what you look like.

tylerxgriffin I guess HuffPo didn't foment enough hatred back in July, they had to repost this again 4 months later. Pathetic.

Listen, every kid who has played hockey or any other sport and not made it, has experienced many of the same dispersions and the same disappointments. You can take any of these comments and turn it into systemic racism but this just an example of a mouthy ignorant kid

There needs to be change and you can take the lead for us

Ummm, hockey is interested in the best hockey players. Period. Stop trying to make Canada a racist nation. It isn't working.

Maybe if you learned how to back check ...

tylerxgriffin Nonsense!

tylerxgriffin I call BS! 100% BS!

tylerxgriffin Is there nothing that liberals don't want to ruin?

tylerxgriffin I coached minor hockey for 10 years. It was a fun time for me and hopefully the kids I coached. Values come from home and not the hockey rink. Nice try.

tylerxgriffin Wtf, please stop this BS

tylerxgriffin always looking for divisive reasons to push triggers and anger to sell your product ...yes finally there are black hockey players, blacks can skate after all !! awesome dudes ! yes sport can be expensive, coaches bring problematic attitudes to the locker room..ect bla bla bla

tylerxgriffin Hmmm didn’t have that in mind when my daughter played hockey.

tylerxgriffin Involed in minor hockey for 30+ years and encountered racism regularly and 7 year olds told to “act like a man” as well as adults “living their dream” through their kids.

tylerxgriffin OK.. now do an article on Jarome Iginla. Half black. Who just has been elected to the hockey hall of fame and said he NEVER..NOT ONCE.. had anything racist said to him. Never on the ice, never anywhere. No..doesn’t fit your narrative.

tylerxgriffin The teachable moment of this story is discredited by the “hyper masculine” divisive tone. The teenage racism encountered isn’t acceptable but I guess that wasn’t enough for a story?

tylerxgriffin Tyler, did you play left wing by any chance?

tylerxgriffin Because 's employees and families have a problem being racist it is not an excuse to call all other Canadians racists too.

tylerxgriffin

tylerxgriffin What a STUPID article. Click bait rubbish from the huff

tylerxgriffin Ethan Bear.

tylerxgriffin My parents could not afford for me to play hockey. Count yourself lucky to have had the opportunity in the first place even if it wasn’t your thing. Not everyone is going to enjoy everything they participate in.

tylerxgriffin Darnell Nurse and Kailer Yamamoto say hello.

tylerxgriffin Interesting article and it's too bad you had those experiences. Grew up in Barrie myself. Started playing hockey from 4 to 12 yrs old. I must've been lucky. My memories of minor hockey very good. This was mid 70's to early 80's. Other than one issue playing in Angus, it was fun

tylerxgriffin Grew up playing with many Asian teammates and I never heard anyone call them names. Tyler please do basketball now.

tylerxgriffin Similar situation - my boys never had a problem.

tylerxgriffin Canada's media blames Google for their failure, Google doesn't pay anyone to write this bullshit.

tylerxgriffin Thank you for writing that story. I’ve heard other athletes say the same thing. I hope we are getting better ☹️ But the surprisingly hateful comments to this post show me that we aren’t.

tylerxgriffin Lol. Hockey teaches Canadian values? Good grief, it’s just a game many kids play. I played when I was a kid just like many sports it was just fun. It wasn’t some great life forming experience. My values came my parents and my family.

tylerxgriffin Another racist perspective with divisive intent from the white guilt feminist huffers. There’s plenty of diversity in hockey and it’s open to all that choose. Love to hear your take on basketball?

tylerxgriffin Oh please he got hurt over some 13 year olds feelings.... Get over it...Every kid deals with that. You want more diversity in Hockey, put your kids in hockey! It's really that simple!

tylerxgriffin YES, Tyler you are indeed an idiot.

tylerxgriffin jessieraeallen now is writing for this alt-left rag. Got forbid if we let men be masculine.

tylerxgriffin You need to educate yourself there are more than 46-Black or Biracial CANADIAN NHL 🏒🥅 Hockey Players. Here are 3 players. P.K Subban NHL - Black Player Trevor Daley NHL - biracial Jamaican Ray Emery NHL - Biracial
