The team continues to be lambasted for the now-deleted tweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In January, feminist hockey players unilaterally made the decision to lean on their whiteness when one of their colleagues, Metropolitan Riveters defenseman <a href=\"https:\/\/firstandpen.com\/staging\/5861\/saroya-tinker-racism-nwhl-womens-hockey\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Saroya Tinker<\/a>, a Black woman, challenged the National Women\u2019s Hockey League (NWHL) for their partnership with Barstool Sports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As I\u2019ve said before, hockey, like life, is often <a href=\"https:\/\/firstandpen.com\/staging\/5861\/so-were-still-asking-is-hockey-really-for-everyone\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">rigged<\/a> against Black and brown kids.<\/p><div id=\"first-269960365\" class=\"first-content first-entity-placement\"><!-- \/22950135888\/FAP_Article_Leaderboard_Instream2 -->\r\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1700413625220-0' style='min-width: 300px; min-height: 90px;'>\r\n  <script>\r\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700413625220-0'); });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Bryant McBride, Burst CEO and co-founder, and co-producer of the Willie O\u2019Ree documentary, &#8220;Willie: How the Descendant of Slaves Changed Hockey Forever,\u201d is trying to balance the scales.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Bryant, who founded the NHL diversity task force in 1995, is partnering with Bernice Carnegie (daughter of hockey legend Herb Carnegie) to form the Carnegie Initiative. An independent not-for-profit group, they aim to promote growth and change in terms of hockey accessibility.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Carnegie Initiative, named in honor of Herb, will also establish and award academic grants for those who are changing the look and feel of the sport in Canada and in the U.S.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the NHL hiring Kim Davis (NHL executive vice president, Social Impact, Growth Initiatives &amp; Legislative Affairs), and their dustups with the NHL player-formed Hockey Diversity Alliance, what will make the Carnegie Initiative different from what we\u2019ve seen?<\/p><div id=\"first-2591005840\" class=\"first-content_2 first-entity-placement\"><!-- \/22950135888\/FAP_Article_Leaderboard_Instream3 -->\r\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1700413989195-0' style='min-width: 300px; min-height: 90px;'>\r\n  <script>\r\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700413989195-0'); });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McBride told me that the Carnegie Initiative won\u2019t wait for hockey\u2019s gatekeepers to figure out something they should\u2019ve understood decades ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe window following George Floyd everyone reflected, and I think and hope that everyone took the time to say: \u2018OK, what can I do to move things along and be better?\u2019 And that led to conversations with a lot of people they see on board; a concerted effort to be really intentional for the next however long it takes,\u201d McBride told me. \u201cThere were three players of color in the [NHL], and that number over 25 years has grown. 10x to 30 to 40 players, &#8212; but that took 25 years. How do we do that 10x again in 10 years? And how do we bring that to bear if you have momentum from the social awakening?\u00a0 The [Carnegie Initiative\u2019s] intent is to be very focused, to be very diligent about serving as a clearinghouse and serving as an entity that will ask for transparency.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cBy the year 2044, the majority of people in North America will be visible minorities, so it&#8217;s a business imperative as well for the sport. But at the root of it, it&#8217;s also ensuring that all kids get a chance to play. It&#8217;s about opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Carnegie Initiative\u2019s board of directors includes Stanley Cup-winning goaltender Grant Fuhr, NHL executives Brian Burke and Ted Nolan, Hockey Night in Canada broadcasters <a href=\"https:\/\/www.cbc.ca\/sports\/hockey\/nhl\/ron-maclean-hnic-comment-reaction-1.6040841\">Ron MacLean<\/a> and Harnarayan Singh, Team Canada Olympian Sarah Nurse, and women\u2019s hockey pioneer and Hall of Famer Angela James, among others.<\/p><div id=\"first-1696013835\" class=\"first-content_3 first-entity-placement\"><!-- \/22950135888\/FAP_Article_Leaderboard_Instream4 -->\r\n<div id='div-gpt-ad-1700414036595-0' style='min-width: 300px; min-height: 90px;'>\r\n  <script>\r\n    googletag.cmd.push(function() { googletag.display('div-gpt-ad-1700414036595-0'); });\r\n  <\/script>\r\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McBride wants to leave no stone unturned, meaning he\u2019s going to pull receipts when the hockey stakeholders come for the Carnegie Initiative.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cLet&#8217;s get the data. Let&#8217;s really understand the barriers, there&#8217;s a lot of anecdotal information out there,\u201d said McBride. \u201cLet&#8217;s really dig in and work with universities like Harvard, MIT, the University of Waterloo in Toronto. Let&#8217;s let&#8217;s dig in and really understand with the help of some of the smartest minds in the world, and give them grants to help us really dig in and get the data.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhat are those barriers and what&#8217;s those areas where people don&#8217;t feel included. Where they there&#8217;s that cultural sense of not belonging. So how do we attack that first? The second is how do we tell stories at scale that normalize that teach and humanize everyone in the game so marginalized people are not an anomaly in a hockey setting that it&#8217;s become that it becomes the norm?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">McBride says, due to his time with the NHL\u2019s diversity task force, he would like to call on any person or organization who wants to be truly collaborative when changing hockey &#8212; and hockey culture &#8212; for the better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That starts with recognizing systemic racism in hockey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The \u201cwe,\u201d McBride says, includes the NHL, USA Hockey, and Hockey Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWhen have you ever seen a team when in pursuing an effort to win where they were divided? Not going to happen,\u201d said McBride. \u201cI think the [NHL] has come a long way. I mean, I started these efforts at the NHL; it&#8217;s near and dear to my heart. I want to see it grow, right? I want to see it prosper, and they made it a priority. Yeah, in my heart, I think they have made it a priority.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cWe all to be held accountable. If we don&#8217;t do a good job if others that are attacking these issues don&#8217;t do the job.
