@players_X_hate We received our helmet stickers today in MN!

Much respect to you & your advocacy for #anti-racist hockey at all levels - from minis/timbits to high-school or major juniors; to pro & beer leaguers everywhere.

Like, that is a career-ending play (removing the persona/ethos of the hittee and hitter altogether).

[Flour Town @millcityjp]

It’s really difficult to watch, actually.

[Jeff Veillette @JeffVeillette]

Floored by how many "perfect clean hit" replies are in here already

I know some people are desperate to protect a prior era of hockey but Reaves drives straight through Hronek's face here, if you can't admit that this isn't safe then you're watching for blood lust, not the game

Just look at the @ByronMBader model for the player from this past June - fascinating.

[Byron Bader @ByronMBader]

Elmer Soderblom has an insane development curve. He moves to a new league every two years and struggles in the 1st year of that league and takes off in the 2nd year in that league. Does he do the same thing in the AHL over the next two years?

[Flour Town @millcityjp]

Really, how much fun is it to watch Elmer Söderblom?

Answer: So Much Fun.

New episode out now! Hockey has a racism problem. @courtneyszto is trying to fix it. Listen here! https://t.co/fKtQpRgNcG #HockeyTwitter #HockeyIsForEveryone #NHL #racism

[Jashvina Shah @icehockeystick]

Here let me fix that for you:

“Don’s comments are xenophobic and we’re sorry he aired them through us publicly but we clearly don’t care because we still employ him and have for years, and will continue to not take responsibility for giving him a platform to air his bigotry."

[Katie Strang @KatieJStrang]

How pervasive is racist and derogatory language in youth hockey? We try to answer that question, and more, here: https://t.co/mGphnbZ06i

[Katie Strang @KatieJStrang]

USA Hockey stiffens penalties for racist, derogatory language https://t.co/mGphnbZ06i

[Jashvina Shah @icehockeystick]

Hey @CBC instead of having a racist and a white man who lets that pass on air for @hockeynight, hire two PoC and a WoC. By keeping Cherry on air, you’re giving hatred a platform and directly contributing to the bigotry in the hockey community.

Val James quietly made history this month 38 years ago when he became the NHL’s first African-American player. Here’s the story of one of hockey’s unsung heroes https://t.co/mQ9UJ75byu

Since a lot are asking me; it’s from @players_X_hate!!! Buy allll the things from their shop my sweater is so comfy and anti-racist
