reintroduction: keya, black, female, 25, NOT new to hockeytwt, but doing like a restart from the past. main nhl: kraken, cbj. also super goalie, fisticuffs, whl & college hockey enthusiast. i want to grow the game among those who look like me and hockey should be for everyone.
the marc-andre fleury ceremony is unique, phenomenal, and rare. we don't see these happen often for an nhl goaltender, and we may not have anything like this again in our lifetime, so fan or not, this is a historical experience like never before for a hockey fan.
it's Black history month and here's why it's important to talk about in the hockey community:
•Black people were heavily involved in ice hockey before the nhl
•today's game reeks of racism and negative stereotypes against current players/fans, and unfortunately still is today
when ppl say that they wouldn't go to a hockey game in a city because it's "dangerous" or "crime ridden" then they need to check their privilege immediately
I THINK NHL TEAMS SHOULD LET THE PLAYERS WEAR SPECIALTY JERSEYS ESPECIALLY ON HOCKEY IS FOR EVERYONE NIGHTS THROUGHOUT THE GAME SO THEY CAN GROW THE GAME AND SEND A MESSAGE TO THESE HATERS
happy to see some women hockey fans who look like me follow me on here lately, i feel like that's what i need to make my experience on ht better. i felt so unseen without them, i want to support them and have them support me as much as possible so i don't feel invalidated.
for those who don't know about nela lopusanova, the slovak women's hockey phenomenon, she got hockey enthusiasts attention for her exceptional talent! here's my pixel edit of her michigan goal from this past u18 tournament!

, watch here:
i got into hockey because it's an electric sport i like that type of thing. all i had to do is try and i got hooked, no one i knew cared for it and that's why sometimes you have to see things for yourself, and if it weren't for that, i would not been on here talking hockey. 1/3
we like to talk about rare occurrences in the nhl like a goalie fight or glass shattering after a big ass hit but what about a complete power outage in the middle of play that would be wild af
tried putting up insta, no one showed up, so instead of giving up, i am posting my hertl drawing here instead. i've been getting more reach here than i have there so i know it will do well!

that's why puckempire had to disable comments on a post about sarah nurse because people will be ignorant for no reason unless it's to ignore the representation and importance of black women in the hockey community. this is why the black girl hockey club exists
