Red Wings' Daley: Minorities making strides in hockey, but more work ahead

Detroit — There’s been progress, albeit slow and tedious, but progress nonetheless.

Trevor Daley looks around the NHL, even his dressing room, and sees minorities playing the game of hockey.

The situation is better than when Daley began his pro career in 2003. But there’s also room for improvement.

“Absolutely,” said Daley, of whether there has been an overall improvement in getting minorities into hockey, getting interested in the sport and playing it.
