Andrew Bray, UGA Linguistics Graduate Student studying sociolinguistics, had an interview with ABC News 4 - Charleston, SC. Andrew's research suggesting hockey players adopt Canadian accents is discussed.

"They have this Canadian aspect to their speech," Bray said. "I'm finding it’s happening everywhere. In my preliminary study, I’ve talked to players from Texas, California, Alaska, North Carolina."
