I've known Joel Ward for quite some time, had the chance to play ball hockey with him and interview him before he retired from the NHL. In my latest piece for Yahoo Sports Canada, I caught up with him in his 2nd act as an assistant coach for the AHL's Henderson Silver Knights (top minor league team of the Vegas Golden Knights). We got into what it means to be a black coach in hockey, making the game more welcoming to black/POC fans and getting called up at the last minute to help coach VGK!
