The NHL for the first time has done an internal demographic study of its staff and all 32 teams, and the results show that hockey has a lot of work to do to increase diversity at all levels.
and that men make up nearly 62 per cent of the total, based on the 4,200 people who participated in a voluntary and anonymous survey .
One of the next steps is turning the data into a race and gender report card produced by the University of Central Florida’s Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport, which has for years graded sports leagues on hiring practices. Davis said it is not as simple as recruiting people of colour to work for the NHL, that it starts with improving how underrepresented communities see and feel about the sport itself. The NHL, eager to diversify its fan base, mapped out seven courses of action, from education and community initiatives to marketing and partnerships.
One of those members, Minnesota's Matt Dumba, said recently he still sees racism in hockey, adding he's sick of “the old boys' club and them dictating who is and who isn’t welcome.” He and Davis spoke last week about the topic. “A lot of patting themselves on the back. Nothing tangible. A lot of words without much substance. Half of the report is about attracting the BIPOC community and youth engagement. It’s literally what we are doing as current and former players of the league," wrote Aliu, referring to the HDA launching a pilot program to promote hockey to under-served communities in Toronto this spring.
Racism still occurs at various levels of hockey. As recently as January, a minor league player was suspended for 30 games for directing a racist gesture at an opposing player who is Black.
