The NHL is taking strides to be more inclusive. The league laid out its plans to fight against racism, and “the mandate to make our sport and our league more welcoming and inclusive.”
Commissioner Garry Bettman will co-chair the Executive Inclusion Council alongside Buffalo Sabres owner Kim Pegula. Bettman shared why the league is taking making the step to promote equality:
“We applaud NHL Players for recognizing the importance of this moment and for coming together as part of a genuine movement for change. We look forward to working with all voices of change to fight for equality and broaden access to the game we all love.
