from Paul Gackle of the Mercury News,
Kane’s coaches and teammates are only saying good things about him. The fanbase is hoping the team re-signs him to a longterm contract when he enters unrestricted free agency on July 1. Kane, meanwhile, insists that he has grown up since he developed a reputation for being hockey’s bad boy early in his career.
“Do I see this as an opportunity to be viewed in a different light? Absolutely,” Kane said. “I haven’t lost or forgotten where I came from. I just think that most people don’t know my story.”
Kane’s relationship to hockey is stereotypically Canadian even though he lacked a stereotypically Canadian upbringing. The 26-year-old’s love affair with the sport is tied to his relationship with his father, Perry Kane, who devoted most of his adult life to molding his son into a professional hockey player, an opportunity that eluded him as a black Canadian growing up in the 1970s.
