The Transition Event: A deep dive into inclusion efforts in hockey

Our co-founder, Sheldon Kennedy, moderated the afternoon Panel discussions at the Transition Game organized by the Carnegie Initiative on November 8. This event intended to engage players, parents, partners, coaches, sports leaders and media in important conversations around the growth of inclusion and acceptance in hockey. The event was broken down into two parts; a round table, solutions-based session to discuss “the good, the bad, the hard” in making hockey a better, more diverse, and safer space, followed by open discussion with attendees, community leaders and members of the press.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The afternoon portion included a keynote and panel discussion identifying issues/needs and creating actionable steps to make hockey more inclusive, followed by an opportunity to network and meet other like-minded individuals creating change.

 

Thank you to the Carnegie Initiative and to all who attended this day of critical conversation and learning.
