 Posted: Wed Feb 27, 2008 4:27 pm Post subject: Celebrating NHL Non-whiteness |
 |
|
I would like to exclaim that I find there are more people of color playing hockey than ever before....
I celebrate the achievement of my brothers every year by creating a non-white team in my EA NHL game. Let me present to you this years Rimouski Roughriders led by Buzz Reynolds and Butch Hayes of course.
Shawn Belle
Mark Fraser
Georges Laraque
Anson Carter
Jarome Iginla
Donald Brashear
Bryce Salvador
Johnny Oduya
Francis Bouillon
Dustin Byfuglien
Trevor Daley
Nigel Dawes
Mike Grier
Robbie Earl
Jamal Mayers
Anthony Stewart (sorely misrepresented as white in NHL 0
Greg Coleman
Kevin Weekes
Ray Emery
I have problems with the minimum payroll so I have to dig deep and add
Nathan Robinson (why hasn't he made it yet)
Sean Brown
Jason Doig
Maxime Fortunus (f'n awesome name!)
Jean-Luc Grand-Pierre (Another awesome name!)
Fred Brathwaite
Chris Stewart
Yared Hagos
Rumun Ndur
Joel Ward (also misrepresented whiteness)
I had to add 2 players to get over the minimum payroll. So my team is captained by Butch Hayes and Buzz Reynolds from PA.
If I have missed anyone in NHL 2008 for the PS2 please let me know. I would like my team complete as possible.

If a team in Rimouski was given such an English name, there would be rioting in the streets and there would be live, round-the-clock coverage of said riots on TVA for like 7 straight weeks.

Silly Filipino man, only one quarter black people aren't white.

| You could add some natives: Cheechoo and Tootoo, or if you include Metis then Simon and Souray would qualify. |

Scott Gomez? If he's not white, then that would make me non-white too.
I'm so white I'm listed as an albino on my drivers' license.

He's mexican/colombian apparently. Dunno if that makes him white. More like cafe au lait.
You could add the Kariya boys there, too.
I guess one test would be to ask yourself, "Would this player be out of place in a KKK rally?" Then of course, Jeff Halpern would be non-white too, so I guess that's not really a good test.

Well I suppose I tried to be PC in my title....but Latinos and NA Natives aren't invited on the Roughriders.
I did initially feel that Gomez was worthy to be on the team but I replaced him with a created player of more worthiness from PA.
I can't find Peter Worrel on my NHL 2008 so I didn't add him.
