Friday, May 13, 2022
Indigenous hockey
If you know the names Brian Trottier, Reggie Leach, and Theo Fleury, you are a hockey fan.
If you don’t know those names, you can look forward to hearing about a sport where Indigenous players excel. Many NHL standouts are Native.
And the sport has long been an outlet for Indigenous youth from the reservations in the U.S. and the reserves of Canada.

Trevor Iserhoff (Cree from Moose Cree First Nation), host of the Rez Hockey podcast
