In our first ever WHL Book Discussion, we chatted with the authors of Game Misconduct: Hockey’s Toxic Culture and How to Fix It,  to learn more about the book and are joined by multimedia journalist, Erica L. Ayala.

Game Misconduct: Hockey’s Toxic Culture & How to Fix is written by Jashvina Shah and Evan F. Moore, with a foreword by Renee Hess (founder of Black Girl Hockey Club),  that goes in depth into the history of hockey’s culture and offers several solutions on ways to fix the deep rooted issues.

While this novel’s contents may be triggering, it is necessary to discuss in order to move forward and implement change. Without knowing hockey culture’s past, on various levels, from grassroots to the professional level, it is hard to navigate the future.

Shah and Moore have compiled an excellent educational tool that is eye opening, informative and well-researched.

The stories of women in hockey come to life on Women’s Hockey Life thanks to our resident storyteller, Ashley! After serving in the US Army for three years, Ashley was inspired to go after her dreams; she completed her Bachelors of Arts in English and went on to complete her Masters of Science in Communications in 2020. She also took up hockey in 2018, joining a women’s team in Alaska. Now, she’s using her talents and passion for the game to tell the stories that deserve to be heard. In between covering the women’s game and playing hockey, you’ll find her training for half marathons, reading, and spending time with her husband and son.
