• Q&A and photo essay with HCT Hoops founder Ransford Brempong and coach Jarryn Skeete
• A sit-down conversation between Hockey Hall of Fame goaltender Grant Fuhr and Sportsnet’s Christine Simpson on Scotiabank Wednesday Night Hockey

• Dive deeper into the people, stories, and experiences throughout Black History Month by tuning in to Going Deep with Donnovan Bennett on Sportsnet 590 The FAN and on-demand at sportsnet.ca.

Across Rogers Sports & Media, editorial teams have made a continuous commitment to air diverse and inclusive content throughout the year by highlighting topics and experts from underserved and under-represented communities across Canada.
