NHL Player Accused of Being a R*cist
It's no surprise to hear that the game of hockey has a serious culture problem, throughout all the news revealed throughout the last year regarding multiple Hockey Canada scandals, the Boston Bruins Mitchell Miller incident and several other court filings proving it.
The latest ''scandal'' involves a NHL prospect by the name of Jakub Lauko, who was drafted by the Boston Bruins organization in 2018 77th overall, he has been accused of being a racist publicly, and it can be found on his Twitter profile underneath his ''favourited/liked'' posts.
Take a look below:
This prospect only has 7 NHL games played but has a career going for him with the Boston Bruins' AHL organization, a very tough look on a 22 year old who is hoping to make the Bruins roster one day.
Hockey is quite the public game as fan bases consist of hundreds and thousands of fans, many players are quite aware of their image is a big thing and certain situations like this won't go unnoticed.
