How hockey can work to be more inclusive and diverse

TRSM - Like Nobody's Business

In recent years, there have been efforts from the NHL and all of its 32 teams to increase diversity across the league. The NHL’s 2022 Diversity and Inclusion report mentioned that recent hire, Mike Grier, became the League's first Black general manager when the San Jose Sharks hired him in July. The report also showed that the league’s full-time workforce is 3.7% Black, 4.2% Asian, 3.7% Hispanic, and less than 1% Indigenous.

On this episode of Like Nobody’s Business, we discuss how hockey can work to be more inclusive, what that inclusivity looks like, how it will impact young hockey players and the future changes to come in the sport.

Bernice Carneigie, the Co-Chair of the Carnegie Initiative and Dr. Richard Norman, a postdoctoral fellow at Toronto Metropolitan University, working with the Future of Sport Lab at Ted Rogers School of Management, discuss the power of inclusivity in hockey and what makes sport transformative to the society around it.
