Dan Milstein, player agent for multiple NHL stars including Nikita Kucherov and Andrei Vasilevskiy, says some of his Russian-born clients have been on the receiving end of discrimination and harassment following the country’s invasion of Ukraine.

Milstein, a Ukrainian native who is now an American citizen and represents approximately 75 percent of the Russian and Belarusian players in the league, is stunned by some words coming from fans.

"The discrimination and racism these Russian and Belarusian players are facing right now is remarkable," Milstein told ESPN's Emily Kaplan. "We're being set back 30 years. I have players calling me, parents calling me. They're concerned whether they'll be able to play, whether they'll be safe."

According to the agent, one specific player was targeted and harassed by someone on the street.

"He was yelled at to, 'Get back to your country,' and was called a Nazi and other words," Milstein said.

"Clients are being called Nazis. People are wishing that they are dead. These are human beings. These are hockey players. These are guys contributing to our society, paying millions of dollars in taxes to support the U.S. and Canada, and doing all kinds of charity work back home. Stop looking at them as aggressors. Stop being racist," he added.
