Ex-Red Wing Sheldon Kennedy talks safety, inclusion at NHL GMs meeting

The Detroit News

Manalapan, Fla. — Former Red Wing Sheldon Kennedy never envisioned a moment like this two decades ago.

Kim Davis didn’t see it coming as recently as 2018.

The pair led a discussion Monday with the NHL’s 32 general managers at their annual meeting – their first in-person gathering since March 2020 because of the pandemic – as the league continues its attempt to push forward on the issues of safety, inclusion and respect in the aftermath of the investigation into the Chicago Blackhawks mishandling a player alleging a video coach sexually assaulted him in 2010.
