Let's Talk About...

On May 6th, a series of screen­shots were shared on Twit­ter, show­ing a pri­vate group chat where numer­ous Win­nipeg-born hock­ey play­ers were seen mak­ing misog­y­nis­tic and prob­lem­at­ic com­ments. The prin­ci­pal actors in the group were Bren­dan Leip­sic of the NHL’s Wash­ing­ton Cap­i­tals, Jack Rode­wald of the AHL’s Spring­field Thun­der­birds, and Jere­mey Leip­sic, of U Sport­s’s Uni­ver­si­ty of Man­i­to­ba Bisons, while oth­er play­ers were includ­ed in the group.

On this episode of Let’s Talk About, Jason returns to talk about why these com­ments are prob­lem­at­ic, why this keeps on hap­pen­ing in hock­ey, and what we can do to stop it.

**COR­REC­TION** It was men­tioned that Nicole Zajac is relat­ed to for­mer Bisons alter­nate cap­tain Nic Zajac. This how­ev­er can­not be con­firmed. I’m sor­ry for the mistake.
