i know each of these men personally and they told me this information

[ashtalkshockey]

being a women's hockey fan and a canes fan makes me so mysterious bc when I say KK am I talking about my beautiful semi-permanent healthy scratch stanley cup winner jesperi kotkaniemi or my beautiful first overall pick gold medalist caroline harvey

one of my coworkers who's vaguely into hockey asked what my "deal with gavin mckenna" was today and it pissed me off so bad, but i was trying to be civil so i came here to rant. please listen up.

like a lot of stuff that's heralded as canadian culture, the making of hockey comes from indigenous traditions. mi'kmaq people carved the first hockey sticks from ironwood. the lakota souix played shinny like 200 years before it was called hockey. thousands of years before skating was a sport or an artform, the iroquois attached blades to their shoes, made from elk and cariboo tibias, to aid them in moving across the ice.

during the playoffs, rogers (canadian telecom giant) came out with an ad campaign about how hockey is "our game" and it made my blood boil a little, how overwhelmingly white hockey is even though as an indigenous person, it feels kinda like my game in particular.

i've seen indigenous players like chris simon (nika-kakwê-wânaskân) and jordin tootoo be on relied as agitators and enforcers, heard about young players facing abuse from coaching staff, have racist comments made about them online and have their name mocked on espn.

i've never seen an indigenous player be raised up for his skill with such excitement by the hockey community until gavin mckenna, and i was so glad to see him go 1st oa. i was on facetime with my cousin on draft day. we watched gavin get called up, saw his beadwork, saw his clearly indigenous family on the screen. we cried about it a little together, finally feeling like maybe this is our game, a little bit more than it was before.

Every time the announcers mention the knights Stanley cup loss it will feel like watching the canes win again

[canesbian]

jaccob slavin is apparently using his day with the cup to raise money for a christian horse therapy program x

Unserious as fuck

[cynids]

CANESMIN DO SOMETHING!!! all these teams got jokes and we get nothing. except the stanley cup i guess

[cynids]

when i see people with 3+ teams in bio i don't even go "wow you must not be a REAL fan" im just in awe tbh. i wish to be as unaffected by hatred and envy as y'all are, it seems quite freeing. every time a team i think im beginning to like plays #myguys i immediately wish them nothing but doom and destruction. is that a mental illness? maybe!

[ashtalkshockey]

watched the david ayres game and getting so emotional over baby aho and svech wahhhhh theyre stanley cup winners now 🥺🥺🥺

[ashtalkshockey]

free the canes from the panthers pls im begging

[cynids]

[antovainen]

Do we think Sepe looked for Teuvos name on the cup and sent a picture to him when he found it, a bittersweet moment finding teuvos name but not with his

[ashtalkshockey]
