A Black minor hockey player in Gatineau, Que., says he has been the target of repeated racial taunts and intimidation on the ice throughout this past season.
David Godwin, 14, plays for Les Voiliers d’Aylmer at the Bantam BB level. He said players from one opposing team have targeted him with the N-word slur while he was on the ice.
On one occasion, Godwin said he was compared to African jungle animals.
“It kept on going for the whole year,” he said.
