It's been a while, but we're back with another episode of the podcast! Today's episode features a conversation with Allan Chan, a former member of the Winnipeg Jets Advisory Council and a dedicated ambassador for the Jets' First Shift program, where he helps kids from Asian, South Asian, and Filipino backgrounds get their first taste of hockey.
Allan is also the founder and GM of the Winnipeg Emperors, an all-Asian hockey team committed to representation and community on the ice. On top of that, he’s the driving force behind the Lunar New Year Hockey Tournament—an incredible event that celebrates culture through sport.
