The NHL for the first time has done an internal demographic study of its staff and all 32 teams.
In the 24-page report, which was presented to the league's Board of Governors and distributed to multiple internal committees, Commissioner Gary Bettman said the data will shape policies"that will produce the greatest impacts in the years to come.”
Davis said it is not as simple as recruiting people of color to work for the NHL, that it starts with improving how underrepresented communities see and feel about the sport itself. The NHL, eager to diversify its fan base, mapped out seven courses of action, from education and community initiatives to marketing and partnerships.
Some of the NHL's players have wondered why it took so long. The league hired Davis in 2017 to spearhead diversity and inclusion efforts, which picked up in 2019 when Nigeria-born player Akim Aliu revealed atoward him a decade earlier in the minors.
Akim Aliu, who along with Dumba are members of the Hockey Diversity Alliance, pushed back on the NHL's report in a lengthy response to The Associated Press.
