Blake Bolden, the first black woman to scout for an NHL team, joins Craig on this week's Full 60. Blake, who was the number one out of 40 influential people on the Athletic's 40 under 40 in the NHL last summer talks with Craig about her journey in hockey. Blake shares stories of starting to learn to skate late, how she developed her skills, how she never gave up despite abuse pointed in her direction by hockey parents and fellow players and how ultimately she became a role model for young black girls interested in hockey. In addition to being a pro scout for the Kings, Blake is also the LA Kings Growth and Inclusion Specialist and talks about her first meeting with Luc Robitaille, her admiration for Willie O'Ree and her desire to win multiple Stanley Cups with the Kings.

Blake, who sits on a committee with the NHL on inclusion and diversity in hockey has also set her sights on one day achieving her goal becoming the first female General Manager in NHL history.
