Discussing hockey’s toxic culture and how to move forward

Share

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.
