The hiring of the TikTok star as a special advisor and "voice of the fans" shows the NHL really has no idea what it's doing when it comes to diversity and inclusion
You are a fool for writing such a stupid article. Do nothing NHL and soon all of your fan base will be dead. What a waste of time. People actually pay this clown to write articles and they actually get published? Great work old man.
Isn't the better point, How does the NHL avoid getting hamstrung trying to bridge the gap between its touting of tradition/reluctance to change and the fact that it has to?
Look at the ridiculous play-off penalty situation. This league treats midiorce players fouling stars as a purity test. If NHL wants NBA-style visibility let stars be stars in the play-offs. Until then they could be social media perfect and still be where they are IMO.
What’s sad is reading these comments, as a woman, and realizing I wouldn’t be safe in their company. That my life has no meaning to the trash commenting below. That we are still so far from women having any chance at feeling safe from violence when it is so normalized and thought to be a normal part of teenage life instead of a sick sick illness and sign of our lack of humanity. It’s never normal, at any age, for any reason, to casually discuss or joke about violence against women, and certainly not with an aim to profit or make a name for oneself doing it. Never.
I enjoyed the article. It makes me wonder if there is any chance of this world becoming a more respectful place than it was when I entered it. I have seen progress on a lot of fronts, but the internet has fuelled a lot of bad behaviour. Disrespect for women seems so widespread and acceptable to many. The NHL may be showing a bit of desperation in resorting to hiring this guy to reach a new demographic.
This from a guy whose only words to me ever were "Who was that broad you were talking to outside? What a hot piece of ass!" in reference to one of our colleagues. Glass houses.
Inferring that a 19 year old kid is misogynistic for playing a game 95% of teenagers have played is incredibly unprofessional and sad. This game can be played with inanimate objects for crying out loud. Be better, this kid has a life and I guarantee this is most of your reader’s first exposure to him so they’ll just take your word for it.
If you have kids, I hope there aren’t grown men out there complaining about how they acted at 18 to interfere with their ability to work. World needs less self-righteous people like you.
Ok, boomer

Is this guy Campbell for real picking on a teenager who’s trying to get gainful employment in this world. Bitter, self righteous, holier than thou.
The first time I heard a group of teenage boys playing this game, I was horrified.
Joey, are u sure about that 95%? How thorough was your survey?

Jokes on me for reading a blog from a hockey blogger about Josh Richard’s FMK selections.
Oh get the fuck over it. It’s not 1965 anymore

Trying to “cancel” 18 year old kids because you don’t like their content... cool...
You come across as grumpy old guy with this. You are the one out of touch. Nothing better to write about such as the Stanley Cup Final?
