Hockey is for Everyone month is officially over. If you watch the Colorado Avalanche, you wouldn’t even know the HIFE month had begun.The Colorado Avalanche held their Hockey is for Everyone team night on February 16 during the game against the St. Louis Blues. Don’t be surprised if you missed it. The team was woefully lukewarm in its observance of this important initiative.
The purpose of the initiative is “to drive positive social change and foster more inclusive communities,” per the NHL website. The idea is that anyone who has a passion for hockey — be it as a player, fan, or coach — should feel included within the hockey community.
