Hockey Manitoba mulls change that would allow it to force teams to drop controversial names

July 15, 2020

An organization that oversees hundreds of hockey teams in Manitoba will consider revising its regulations to allow it to compel teams with controversial or racist names to change them.

Hockey Manitoba members are expected to discuss that possibility on Wednesday as a means of ensuring the sport is inclusive in the province.

Executive director Peter Woods put the item on the agenda and said it could enable the group to force resistant teams to drop names with racist connotations.
