Women, meanwhile, currently comprise around 37 per cent of the workforce, which is on par with the gender split of fans. More than 93 per cent of respondents identified as straight/heterosexual. Davis, who is Black and will mark five years working for the NHL in December, pointed to mentorship programs, the six female assistant general managers hired in the last year alone, and the 40 women who have taken part in the NHL’s officials combine as signs of progress.
The Hockey Diversity Alliance — established in the aftermath George Floyd’s death at the hands of Minneapolis police in 2020, and an organization that isn’t affiliated with the league — has been critical of the NHL. “We’re doing the things that are going to ultimately get us to a place where folks will start seeing results.”
Davis said while the NHL can impact the top of the hockey ecosystem, it’s also aiming at lower levels so under-represented groups see a path.
