NEW YORK (June 28, 2021) – National Hockey League Commissioner Gary
Bettman announced today a new $5 million investment over the next 18 months to
strengthen the League through diversity and inclusion efforts.
“We believe we are a higher performing League when we have an inclusive
culture that harnesses the power of diversity,” said Commissioner Bettman. “Now,
equipped with the learnings and recommendations of our Player, Fan and Youth Hockey
Inclusion Committees, we are taking the next step to bring real, positive, systemic
change to the game. While this work takes time and diligence, because it is predicated
on relationships and authenticity through action, we know the lasting value this work will
have for our Clubs, the Players, fans, employees, business partners and everyone else
who makes up the hockey community.”
