This week, I'm giving you a surface-level look into the very deep roots of hockey in Indigenous communities, specifically the Mi'kmaq Nation. Though it has been debated, there is more and more compelling evidence that we have Indigenous communities to thank for the sport we all know and love. From the earliest ash sticks, to Fred Sasakamoose, to the 2024 NHL draft, both the past and the future of hockey is Indigenous!
