The data from the NHL's first workplace demographic study backed up the expectations: nearly 84 per cent of employees across the league and its 32 teams are white, and nearly 62 per cent are men.
Kim Davis, executive vice-president of social impact, growth initiatives and legislative affairs for the NHL, speaks before an NHL hockey game on Feb. 18, 2020, in Detroit. Kim Davis, a Black woman hired five years ago to help the NHL with diversity initiatives, was not surprised by much of the league's first workplace demographic study.The data backed up the expectations: nearly 84% of employees across the league and its 32 teams are white, and nearly 62% are men.
"While pursuing diversity and inclusion is the right thing to do, it is also good for the league's bottom line," Thompson added. "A more diverse NHL workforce, including more diversity among its player ranks, will result in greater interest in the sport. The NHL's fan base will grow once diverse people see themselves represented in the league."
"It's a case of improving our brand with those communities, making sure that there is a sense of welcoming across all dimensions -- not just coming in and working, but how people feel in the stadium and what our youth numbers look like," said Davis, the NHL's executive vice president of social impact, growth and legislative affairs. "All of those are factors that play into this overarching way that we guide the movement of our sport.
"No one holds them accountable," Aliu said. "Until we are all successful and progressing, none of us are."
