Joy Drop: The NHL needs to let the Dogg in!

Friends, May brings us the coming of summer and Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. As someone who is South Asian, I appreciate the amplification within different sports ecosystems to draw attention to those players, their campaigns, their histories and their futures.

Accounts like AAJA Task Force, which focuses on sports covered by AAPI journalists and Hockey 4 Youth, is advocating for Larry Kwong to be inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame.

We are fully entrenched in the excitement of soccer playoffs! I watched the UEFA Women's Champions League match between Arsenal FC and VfL Wolfsburg. What a game it was! Certainly historic because of the 60,063 fans who filled Emirates Stadium. Arsenal lost in extra time but the match was spectacular. Wolfsburg will face Barcelona FC in the final on June 3rd in Eindhoven, Netherlands.

Same fixture. 10 years difference. <br><br>
