As a woman of colour and a little person, Gabi uses social media to shine a light on representation. And while this bold content creator isn’t afraid to take risks, she feels like she’s been playing it safe with a style that gives more teenage tomboy than influencer queen.

In this episode of The Neutral Zone, the hosts discuss various sports events and news. They start with the confirmation of the 2023 NHL draft lottery order, revealing that the Chicago Blackhawks will have the first overall pick, with Connor Bedard from the Regina Pats being the likely choice. They also mention the Para Ice Hockey National Championships happening in Montreal, providing details and encouraging viewers to check the website for updates and live feeds.

The hosts then shift their focus to the recently concluded Goal Ball National Championships in Ottawa, sharing the final results for both the women's and men's sides. They also mention that Wheelchair Basketball Canada and CBC Sports will be streaming coverage of the Ottawa Invitational tournament.

Next, the team features an interview with Breanna Hennessy, a para canoe athlete who won a silver medal at the recent combined conventional and para event in Hungary. The interview took place during the Canadian Paralympic Committee Summit in Ottawa.

Moving on, the hosts delve into the NHL playoffs, specifically discussing the suspension of Darnell Nurse from the Edmonton Oilers for fighting in the last minute of a game, which automatically results in a one-game suspension. They mention that similar situations in the regular season had their suspensions rescinded. They also express their opinion that Alex Petro Angelo's suspension for one game on Leon (likely referring to an incident involving Leon Draisaitl) should have been more severe.

Finally, the hosts touch upon the future of the Toronto Maple Leafs and Edmonton Oilers if they get eliminated from the playoffs, and they plan to preview the other American series in the NHL playoffs.
