I honestly think this to some degree was spurred from the results of our investigation. This can't be construed as anything but positive news.

NHL extends commitments to inclusion, diversity, safety, respect

NEW YORK/TORONTO -- The National Hockey League's Board of Governors was updated today on the League's continuing efforts to ensure that our game is safe, inclusive and respectful, both on and off the ice, and that the NHL and its Clubs provide welcoming workplaces for all.
The report: "Respect Hockey - Committing Ourselves to the Game's Greatest Values," focused on four pillars - Prevention, Reporting, Counseling and Accountability -- was made by Kim Davis, NHL Senior Executive Vice President of Social Impact, Growth Initiatives and Legislative Affairs. Davis provided an update on the progress that has been made to positively shift hockey culture, especially over the past two years, including the framework that was developed to learn from and advise stakeholders at every level of the hockey ecosystem - from youth to pros and from NHL Clubs to community partners.
"From amateurs to professionals, we are attempting to set expectations that hockey environments everywhere will be safe and inclusive and - regardless of position or power - each person will treat one another with respect," Davis said. "In the spirit of the Declaration of Principles that we, the NHL Players' Association and 15 other hockey organizations joined together on four years ago, we must continue to collectively advance positive changes in the sport."
