This Week In NDN All-Stars History: March 1 - March 7

NDN All-Stars is part of the Sports History Network — The Headquarters for Sports Yesteryear.In this episode, we look back at the week of March 1–7 and the Native athletes who helped define it.We begin in 1934, when Henry Armstrong earned an eight-round decision victory over Perfecto Lopez — one of many performances during the rise of one of boxing’s most dominant champions.And we close in the modern era with Lyle Thompson scoring his 350th career goal in the National Lacrosse League — becoming just the 28th player in league history to reach that mark, and only the second Indigenous player ever to do so. Proof that Native excellence in sport isn’t just history — it’s happening right now.Along the way, this week also includes milestone moments from Virgil Hill, Joe Hipp, Jack Dempsey, Gary Sargent, Ethan Bear, MarJon Beauchamp, Wes Welker, Billy Mills, and more — spanning boxing, hockey, basketball, football, MMA, and lacrosse.From championship defenses to professional debuts and career milestones, this week reminds us that Native athletes have always been part of the story.These are the moments.These are the names.This is our history.NDN All-Stars — Promoting Great Native Athletes, Past & Present!SUPPORT NDN ALL-STARSIf you enjoy this podcast and want to support our mission of celebrating great Native athletes, visit NDNAllStars.com/shop.You can also support the show at Patreon.com/NDNAllStars.ABOUT NDN ALL-STARSHosted by Bill Black, the NDN All-Stars Podcast shines a spotlight on great Native athletes — past and present.
