And we\u2019re intentionally seeking a greater diversity of experiences throughout hockey, whether you are in it to play, work, or watch. Diverse representation within inclusive environments is proven to advance innovation, creativity, and decision-making \u2013 all of which are critically important to the growth of the sport and our business,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p> Gary Bettman via NHL on ESPN <\/p>\n<p class=\"title\"><strong>RELATED: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.boundingintosports.com\/2022\/07\/former-calgary-flames-forward-theo-fleury-says-justin-trudeau-has-no-soul-he-doesnt-care-about-humanity\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Former Calgary Flames Forward Theo Fleury Says Justin Trudeau Has \u201cNo Soul, He Doesn\u2019t Care About Humanity\u201d<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Bettman\u00a0 continued, \u201cRecognizing these facts, we are working to better understand and accelerate our engagement across all layers of diversity \u2013 including nationality, race, gender identity, sexual orientation, disability, and religion \u2013 and their nuances and intersections. At the same time, when there are incidents that violate inclusivity in hockey or barriers that negatively impact the participation of underrepresented groups, we are committed to reckoning with those difficult moments as opportunities to demonstrate our values and create a better future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>He went on to reveal, \u201cDuring the re-ignited movements for social justice over the past few years, particularly following the murder of George Floyd, our initial response was to listen and learn. This response ultimately led to new ways of thinking and new internal competencies that, in many cases, built upon work that had been growing across the hockey community. Since January 2020, the League Office and all 32 NHL Clubs have united to strengthen diversity and inclusion (D&#038;I) with new urgency, pursuing a variety of initiatives to make this great game more welcoming,<br \/>inclusive, accessible, and socially conscious. To accelerate our progress, we created a \u20187 Dimensions\u2019 framework to promote D&#038;I at every level of the sport \u2014 spanning leadership, education, employment, marketing, partnerships, participation, and community engagement.\u201d<\/p>\n<p> Alex Ovechkin via NBC Sports Washington <\/p>\n<p>\u201cEach day, we are committed to ensuring inclusion becomes more of \u2018who we are\u2019 than \u2018what we do\u2019 \u2013 and we know this requires scale, frequency, and authenticity in our efforts. The following report benchmarks the NHL\u2019s approach to D&#038;I work over the past two years. With qualitative and quantitative data, we aim to underscore our priorities and emphasize the policies and programming that will produce the greatest impacts in the years to come,\u201d he declared.<\/p>\n<p>Bettman concluded, \u201cWe take seriously our responsibility as the \u2018North Star\u2019 for every level of hockey \u2013 from youth leagues to the pros \u2013 and we hope our transparency<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The National Hockey League (NHL) released a workforce demographic study as part of a report on \u201cAccelerating Diversity &#038; Inclusion\u201d that claims the organization\u2019s teams are too white and the league plans to make changes to reduce the percentage of white people that work for them.
