Mark Connors, a Black 16-year-old goaltender with the Halifax Hawks U18 AA team who was called the N-word on the ice three years ago, says he has again been subjected to racial slurs, this time during a recent tournament in Charlottetown.
The under-21 team has been waiting to travel home from South Africa since the Junior World Cup there was cancelled due to concern about the new omicron variant of the coronavirus that causes COVID-19.
