@tyesteireiro7 @rwesthead @RearAdBsBlog @spittinchiclets A bit of background on Jordan, and his story regarding the sport of hockey…

Jordan was finally able to play again, for OMHA to suspend him a day before the OMHA Championship Tournament (Provincials) for defending himself and speaking up against it

@rwesthead I had the chance to work with JJ in September 2023, when he was nominated as Cover Member of The Year at GolfNorth.

One of the most genuine and kind kids I've ever met, this is disgusting.

We did a full profile on him here: https://t.co/TOcC0xs7tz

Player gets 7 games for calling opponent “black boy n - - - - -”.

Black player ALSO gets 7 games for responding with “racist piece of shit” to player who called him a “n - - - - -” (sussy since reduced).

Jesus Christ, OMHA. Figure it the fuck out. What a brutal look.

[Rick Westhead @rwesthead]

The Ontario Minor Hockey Association suspended a Under-18 player for 7 games last week after an investigation corroborated an allegation the player said, "good job black boy n----."
Jordan Jacobs, the U18 New Hamburg Jr Firebirds defenceman who was targeted with the racial slur, responded by calling the other player a "racist piece of s---."
Jacobs was also suspended for 7 games.
Jacobs's mother Patti told me this was the *sixth* time this season her son has been the target of a racial slur during a hockey game.
After I emailed the OMHA about this on Friday, the association on Saturday reduced Jordan's suspension to 3 games.
In an email on Saturday to the New Hamburg Hockey Association, OMHA executive director Ian Taylor wrote the OMHA has "zero tolerance for discriminatory slurs of any kind... We have also been consistent throughout the year in trying to discourage any form of retaliation from our participants that involves derogatory or disrespectful behaviour or language..."
Patti Jacobs: "It's been heartbreaking. The one positive have been how many people in our organization have been supportive of Jordan finally using his voice. But then look what happens. He uses his voice instead of violence and still he gets seven games."
Jordan will likely move on to play junior hockey next season, Patti told me.

The world lost the most special boy and an absolute hero last night. Ben, you were the best son we could ever hope for and you were my best bud ever. Your sisters were so lucky to have you as such a sweet brother. You fought so long and hard and beat so many odds.
