"Hockey is for Everyone is the umbrella initiative under which
the League encourages Clubs to celebrate the diversity that
exists in their respective markets, and to work to achieve
more welcoming and inclusive environments for all fans.

which initiatives to support, and we continue to encourage
their voices and perspectives on social and cultural issues."
