Current Sports | 4/15/16 | #682

Aerial Powers, Two Minutes For Ruffing, Diversity in Hockey, Kobe Bryant Retirement, Deandre Carter, Current Sports TV Rewind, and Reflection Friday.

Taking a more incisive look into sports, Current Sports prepares for today a show stocked full of questions and answers. First, Aerial Powers was selected fifth overall in the WNBA draft. Al explores the connection that she could have with her new team, even though they're in Dallas. Then, hockey aficionado and Current Sports intern Jason Ruff is on the air for 'Two Minutes For Ruffing.' The segment not only covers the Detroit Red Wings playoff hopes, but also why hockey has a diversity problem. Al and Jason propose possible fixes. Afterwards, a Current Sports TV Rewind brings Deandre Carter, motivational speaker, from your screen to your speakers. And to end this busy week of Current Sports, 'Reflection Friday' provides an alternate take on Kobe Bryant's final game.
