The NHL is establishing four committees to address issues of diversity and inclusion within hockey and the league, per ESPN's Greg Wyshynski.
Kim Davis, the NHL's executive vice president for social impact, growth initiatives and legislative affairs, said an Executive Inclusion Council will field recommendations from three committees: a Player Inclusion Committee, a Fan Inclusion Committee and a Youth Inclusion Committee.
The Executive Inclusion Council will consist of 12 people: five NHL owners, five team presidents and two general managers.
"That council is formed so that the ideas that percolate up from these [other] committees will be actionable and [executed] across the entire system," Davis said.
