93.3 The Peak’s Statement on our Bulldogs Hockey Broadcast (4/22/22)

Racism has no place in hockey.  Racism has no place on our radio stations nor in our company.

 

During the second period of Friday night’s hockey game between the Alberni Valley Bulldogs and the Langley Rivermen, the colour commentator on the 93.3 The Peak broadcast, Bruce MacDonald, made a racist comment toward Rivermen player Owen Kim.  His comments were extremely offensive, inappropriate and have no place on our radio station.  Mr. MacDonald was asked to leave the broadcast.

 

We stand with the BCHL and the Alberni Valley Bulldogs and would like to sincerely apologize to Owen Kim, his family, the Langley Rivermen, the Alberni Valley Bulldogs, the BCHL, and our listeners.
