About Akim Alium
Akim Aliu has a unique background that has led to him being a champion for diversity in hockey. Aliu was born in Nigeria, spent his early years in Ukraine, and grew up in Canada. There he found a love of hockey and was eventually selected in the first round of the Ontario Hockey League draft. Aliu spent four seasons in the OHL and the Chicago Blackhawks made him a second-round pick in the 2007 NHL Entry Draft. He embarked on a lengthy professional career, where he played for various minor league teams before getting a shot to reach the NHL with the Calgary Flames during the 2012-13 season. Aliu continued to play as a pro until 2020 when he co-founded the Hockey Diversity Alliance with NHL veteran Evander Kane.

Hockey Speakers
Hockey stars lay their bodies on the line and they are universally respected for their toughness. The NHL has brought a significant level of exposure to these athletes’ impressive feats. Hockey speakers are also some of the humblest athletes to work with and they are great for corporate groups, charities, universities, faith-based groups, and other organizations. The way that the best hockey speakers connect with audiences on important subjects like teamwork, leadership, and overcoming adversity, makes them valuable for any in-person or virtual event.
