Award-winning Canadian rap artist Saukrates shared a tribute song honoring the 11 Black players in Washington Capitals history. The song pays homage to Mike Marson (1974-79), who became the second Black player in the NHL, 16 years after Willie O’Ree debuted with the Boston Bruins on Jan. 18, 1958; Bill Riley (1974-79); Reginald Savage (1990-93), Anson Carter (1996-97, 2003-04), Mike Grier (2002-04), Jason Doig (2002-04), Jean-Luc Grand-Pierre (2003-04), Donald Brashear (2006-09), Joel Ward (2011-15), Madison Bowey (2017-19) and Devante Smith-Pelly (2017-19). The tune also gives lyrical nods to Black Washington culture from its famous eateries and venues to the pioneers of the distinctly District Go-Go music sound to the Fort Dupont Ice Hockey Club, North America’s oldest minority-oriented youth hockey program.
