Former NHL player Akim Aliu said a staff member of the American Hockey League's Colorado Eagles dressed up like him and wore blackface to a Halloween party.
Andrew Beaton of the Wall Street Journal (h/t Nate Chute of the Fort Collins Coloradoan) reported equipment manager Tony Deynzer wore blackface, an Afro wig and a jersey with the name "DREAMER" on the back to a party Aliu attended.
"The hardest thing about that ... just how much planning went into that," Aliu said in an interview with TMZ Sports in an interview published Thursday.
