“I really think we’re at a point where there’s no turning back.” Kim Davis, the NHL's executive VP of social impact, growth initiatives and legislative affairs, shared her plans for helping the game move forward towards meaningful change.
on Tuesday, Davis said she’s seen those in positions of power around the league step up and commit to working towards this type of meaningful change amid this current period of reflection.
“And I’ve had many both group and individual conversations over the past three weeks, and I haven’t had anyone be resistant. Much different than that, they have reached out to me for support and help.” The hockey community also saw another group come together to combat systemic racism in the game, with a number of current and former Black NHL players recently forming the Hockey Diversity Alliance. Davis told Janda and Riccio that she believes the Alliance can work well alongside another player-based committee the league will be putting in place, and discussed the dialogue she’s had with the Alliance.
