Detroit — There is changing culture in the NHL, and it started with one tweet.
Former NHL player Akim Aliu tweeted Nov. 25 about verbal abuse directed at him by then-coach Bill Peters — a former Red Wings assistant and NHL coach for two teams — when the two were in the minor leagues in 2009.
“Dropped the N bomb several times towards me in the dressing room in my rookie year because he didn’t like my choice of music,” Aliu tweeted.
