Hockey Canada Announces Second Summit to Address Cultural Issues

The upcoming Beyond The Boards summit in Ottawa will focus on tackling gender-based violence, homophobia, sexism, and transphobia in hockey.

The summit will be held on November 14-15 in Ottawa, following last year's event in Calgary.
The initiative aims to address deep-rooted cultural issues in hockey, highlighted by past allegations of sexual assault involving Canadian junior men's team members.
Key speakers include Olympic champion Mark Tewksbury, NHL executive Brian Burke, and transgender hockey player Harrison Browne.
Hockey Canada emphasizes the importance of engaging in uncomfortable but necessary conversations to foster cultural change.
The summit is part of Hockey Canada's ongoing efforts to create a healthier and more inclusive environment for all participants.
