#NHLsoWhite that most of their players come from 2-parent households.

#NHLsoWhite that they show up for practice on time.

Am I doing it right?


Those guys have Hockey instinct and are always the first ones to practice and the last ones to leave.

They watch film every day, all day when not working out or practicing.

They are gym-rats and have great motivation for the rink.

Needs a lot more indigenous African American trans players. Even if they don't play hockey

That seems way low for a sport that started at the North Pole. Should be closer to 97%.

NBA, NFL, and MLB are majority minority. Who cares if Hockey is majority white?

It's also the most expensive sport to play not just the equipment but trying to reserve rink time et cetera. As a kid grows hes gonna need new skates And protective equipment almost every year not including skates which run about 200 bucks of pop.

I doubt the majority of players are even US-born. Turn the mob on Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan!

Canadian 42.7%,24.8% USA, Sweden 12%. That is the make up of the top 3 demographics in the NHL

3.5% of Canada's population is black, Sweden is less than 1%. USA 13% plus or minus.

I expect the NHL will get the nascar treatment if they abandon their core base.

Leave hockey alone. It’s the last refuge of slow white guys.

Diversity


I never post on this board, and would like to stay out of it. But I find it ridiculous, when the NHL is literally the most diverse big sport in the US when it comes to players from other countries. I guess diversity to these people just means skin color. Surprised google hasn't changed changed the definition of diversity to skin color yet.

The person that wrote that has probably never watched an NHL game and only wants to talk about race. As others have said, maybe they can look into the imbalance in other leagues and comment on that too.
