DETROIT (WWJ) – Detroit has a lot of nicknames – the Motor City, Motown, the 313, and of course, “Hockeytown.”

On a new Daily J, WWJ’s Zach Clark speaks with Bally Sports Detroit’s Trevor Thompson and Seattle Kraken announcer Everett Fitzhugh to learn what it's like being Black and working in hockey, and what is being done to make the game more inclusive.
