Feel like I’m the only one with not a particularly strong reaction to Witherspoon being traded icl.

[hearteyesilya]

a fittingly goofy home run (aka unc makes a little league home run and absolutely books it around the bases) to bring the jays to their first lead in five games

the toronto blue jays may never lose again

[puckdyke]

“this is the second time bo bichette has played second base since the World Series” is the Mets’ strategy psychological warfare.

with all the love I can muster, please stop forgetting Dale McCourt (Algonquin, Frog Lake First Nations), the very first and only other Indigenous player to go 1OA in the 1977 NHL Draft, when talking about Indigenous hockey players. His uncle, George Armstrong, was also the first Indigenous player to score a goal in the NHL (Mortillaro, Nicole (2011), Hockey Trailblazers, Scholastic Canada, ISBN 978-1-4431-0469-2) when playing for the Leafs.

To go even deeper, George Armstrong was the first Indigenous player in the NHL, as we know it in its modern iteration (this fact is null if you go all the way back to Paul Jacobs in 1912.) I understand the narrative appeal of firsts and recency bias coupled with the gleam of modern memory, but it completely erases the hard-fought path of those who did it then so others can do it now.

Indigenous communities exist all over the world, and many people don’t recognize that Indigenous Europeans, most notably Börje Salming (Sámi, Kiruna), even exist/have made it into the NHL. Some make the argument for Leo Komarov (Ingrian Finnish), but unfortunately, he’s from a smaller ethnic group not classified as Indigenous. Arguably, you’ll see more Indigenous Europeans in the euro leagues, but this post centers around the NHL specifically.

Non-comprehensive list of Indigenous hockey players, 1912-current.

Anyway. Happy learning.
