You can play the game hard and also be respectful of differences is the message Normand Hector wants to send at Hockey Canada's second Beyond The Boards summit.
You can play the game hard and also be respectful of differences is the message Normand Hector wants to send at Hockey Canada's second Beyond The Boards summit.
Hockey New Brunswick also recruited Hector three years ago to speak to players, coaches and families about how to create a respectful hockey culture. Hector does not lead those seminars in his drag persona. "I really want my message to be what I've been discovering while I'm in the weeds, while I'm out there with the players, the coaches and the families. I want to share the powerful stories from the players, coaches and families that are helping shape hockey today."
Those allegations have yet to be proven in court. Five players, all who went on to play in the NHL, go before a jury trial next year. "Last year’s event was eye-opening for all of us and reinforced that there is still so much work to be done, which is a challenge we take very seriously," Henderson said in a statement.
Hector was already speaking in schools about respect and inclusion at that time. HNB's target audience for Hector's work is players from the U13 leagues up to U18, their coaches and families.
