Smith-Pelly:

The Blackhawks' Anthony Duclair:

"How do I feel? I mean, like, we have some Blackhawks fans that think a certain way. If they're Blackhawks fans, they would know there is a black hockey player on the team.

"It's obviously a white sport, and you just want to go out there and compete. There's obviously some ignorant people in this world, so you have to deal with that."

Anthony Duclair: "It's unacceptable to be honest with you. ... It's just very disappointing." pic.twitter.com/GAbyagVvt2

Kudos to Anthony Duclair, who was put in an uncomfortable but inevitable position after today's skate, speaking on race in sports and society. @madkenney's story: https://t.co/49nFzSD0uQ pic.twitter.com/cae14LNNUa
