Hockey Coach Greg Walsh Faces Ban from the OMHA for Opposing Racial Slur

Despite the strides made by current Black NHL players like Calgary Flames captain, Jarome Iginla and Montreal Canadiens player, P.K. Subban and many others, racism is alive and well in hockey! To wit:

Coach Greg Walsh pulled his Peterborough minor league hockey team off the ice after an opposing player hurled a racial slur at Andrew McCullum, one of his teenaged team members and no one apologized.

Two weeks later, Walsh is watching his house league team from the stands while he serves an indefinite suspension from the Ontario Minor Hockey Association (OMHA). Meanwhile, the player who used the taunt and his two coaches received three-day penalties and are playing again.

Because of a Hockey Canada rule on “refusing to start play,” Walsh could be barred from coaching for up to a year.”

WTF??! Greg Walsh is a stand-up guy who absolutely did the right thing by taking a principled stand against behavior that has no place in civil society in 2010. The Ontario Minor Hockey Association should be ashamed of themselves for the position they have taken here! Don’t let them get away with this travesty.

  12. I’ve been taking Phallomax for the past few months. No doubts this is obviously the best solution for “that” problem. Got it from the UK within a few days and I live in Burundi. Well worth the money.
