Hockey Diversity Alliance asks NHL to cancel Thursday’s games

Wednesday was a historic day for the sports world. The NHL, however, was on the wrong side of history.

While the NBA, MLB, WNBA and MLS all cancelled games, the most privileged white league in North America played on.

Evander Kane mentioned it in his comments yesterday, but the visible minorities in hockey need help if they want hockey fans to elevate their conversations and actions in regards to the Black Lives Matter Movement.

Now, Kane, and the rest of the Hockey Diversity Alliance, has asked that the NHL suspend all play on Thursday.
