Ethan Bear To Wear Jersey With Cree Language

The entire hockey community has made an honest effort to make hockey more inclusive and accessible. Ethan Bear is one of few Indigenous players in the NHL and he will be honoring his culture and heritage on his jersey this evening. Take a look!

This is an amazing way for hockey to reach marginalized communities and make young indigenous players feel welcome at the rink!

#Oilers d-man Ethan Bear will honour his Indigenous heritage during tonight's #BattleOfAlberta exhibition game by displaying his jersey name bar in Cree syllabics.
