The National Hockey League doesn’t like to make the game fun (or safe for that matter). But the issues I see today are not just from the biggest league in the world. It comes from an ingrained culture that is still stuck in the past.
You may have seen the headlines from the OHL. Rick Westhead from TSN was informed that “some players have been advised to scrub references to the game from their accounts.” That game is Fortnite. Hockey is frustrating in its ignorance. This is a golden opportunity to draw in a younger demographic, something the league is failing to do.
