Akim Aliu has accepted an invitation to meet with the NHL regarding his accusations stating that Calgary Flames head coach Bill Peters directed racial slurs towards him while with the AHL's Rockford IceHogs 10 years ago.
Aliu released a statement Thursday claiming that Peters' apology from Wednesday was 'misleading, insincere, and concerning.'

Peters said he apologized at the time for directing the offensive language towards Aliu, but the latter gave a different account. Aliu claims Peters called him into his office and did not apologize, but rather continued to hurl racial slurs towards him.
More to come.
