From Mark Herrmann at Newsday.com:
When everyone looks back on it, this Islanders season might not seem a total loss after all. Aside from possibly helping them ace the draft lottery, 2008-09 looks from here as if it will be remembered as the season Kyle Okposo really earned his NHL sweater, and a USA Olympic jersey.
It is not too early to think about Okposo’s future, which looks brighter by the day. It definitely is not too early to think about next February and the Vancouver Winter Games.

His Dad is from Nigeria and it is an aside in the last line of the article, hardly an article about diversity. He may not merit selection, but the article had nothing to do with diversity.

I’ll interpret this article as another vote for “diversity”...........the guy hasn’t done bleep. He’s got 10 goals and 19 points in 40 or so games. What is so great about that..? Oh he’s from Nigeria....well that’s different...........
