Sharing some Quinn pics I got at the game tonight! My dad was amazing and took a bunch since. Quinn sat directly in front of him and one of the assistant coaches was in front of me at times.

I saw you didn't comment on the way the post olympic phonecall went though, and I wanted to ask what you thought about it?

thank you...I think?

I didn't comment on it because people have thoroughly analyzed it better than I ever could, both in terms of the sport but also the current political climate.

I don't know if you know about the amount of sexual assault/harassment/abuse cases (the world junior canadian team comes to mind first) that have been swept under the rug. (not only concerning women but also cases for hazing and abusive coaches). hockey in general is probably one of the MOST conservative and right leaning spaces I can think of, whatever tape they wear or videos they play on themed nights notwithstanding.

...honestly I was a little suprised by the media/fans reaction after the olympics, it might just be how fed up everyone is at the moment or a certain new hockey show shedding light (in my opinion, very little actually) on the nature of the sport but... these are rich, mostly straight and mostly white men.

this is definitely not to discourage anyone from following the sport, its unlike anything else and the influx of attention the past few months have been wonderful! and don't get me wrong there are some genuinely good guys in the nhl/ahl/echl. just be aware, don't idolize or stay willfully ignorant of the environment you've started to expose yourself too.

A/n: I hope you guys like these I’ve been wanting to do them all week but kept putting it off 😭 those pictures he just posted the other day? I died and left this for you all
