S2E4: Building Asian Hockey Community — with Allan Chan
It's been a while, but we're back with another episode of the podcast! Today's episode features a conversation with Allan Chan, a former member of the Winnipeg Jets Advisory Council and a dedicated ambassador for the Jets' First Shift program, where he helps kids from Asian, South Asian, and Filipino backgrounds get their first taste of hockey.
Allan is also the founder and GM of the Winnipeg Emperors, an all-Asian hockey team committed to representation and community on the ice. On top of that, he’s the driving force behind the Lunar New Year Hockey Tournament—an incredible event that celebrates culture through sport.

Mentioned in this episode:
Don’t miss Chinese Republicans, a new play from Alex Lin!
Coming to the Roundabout Theatre Company this winter, Chinese Republicans is a biting new satirical drama from Alex Lin, directed by Chay Yew, following three high-powered businesswomen who meet for lunch every month to discuss their latest career triumphs, as they’ve done for decades. But the group is jolted when Katie, a bright-eyed 24-year-old new to the workforce, joins to navigate the world of corporate finance. As each of the women attempts to steer Katie towards what they’re certain is best, they’re forced to grapple with how much they already have and are willing to sacrifice to climb the corporate ladder.
Tickets for Chinese Republicans on sale now!
