Hour 4: Diversifying Hockey Culture w/ Mark Fraser + Stan Van Gundy
Maple Leafs Equity, Diversity, Inclusion and Player Development Coordinator Mark Fraser stops by to discuss the team's Heritage Classic jersey, the return of fans to Scotiabank Arena, Justin Holl and Rasmus Sandin's changing roles, Mark's own role with the Leafs and whether the NHL has enacted real change in terms of diversifying the game and combatting systemic racism, and what the most basic thing people can do at a grassroots level in a hockey space to be an ally (1:09). To wrap, Stan Van Gundy chats about what it's like to coach the All-Star Game, the Raptors' commitment to position less basketball, the hefty workload for Toronto's starters, and how the NBA's play-in tournament has helped maintain competitiveness around the league (25:00).
