Nothing says hockey culture like the commissioner of the NHL watching a series where the male love interest beating up a rapist is a pivotal moment … while allowing the likes of Carter Hart, Brett Howden, Joel Quenneville, and Stan Bowman to return to the NHL

Hockey is for everyone. Well, not everyone. I am having a hard time figuring out how I can remain a fan right now, and no one is talking about it. Trump announced his council on fitness (because fat people are a threat to national security/military readiness - you can’t make this stuff up!) Stated goals include “keeping men out of women’s sports.”

On the council:

The commissioner of the NHL, Gary Bettman

The best player of all time, Wayne Gretzky

NHL’s Kim Davis talks ‘Heated Rivalry’ and leading as a woman of color. From PR Week

The NHL and its commissioner, Gary Bettman, know they have "work to do in preparation" for a "plot point" in Heated Rivalry's second season: "[NHL senior executive vice president, Kim] Davis said that while the NHL has been actively involved with the LGBTQ+ community — for example, hosting the NHL Unites Pride Cup — the league must do a “better job” of talking about its actions. Heated Rivalry has attracted new audiences to the sport, and the NHL has “such an opportunity to lean into those ‘fans in waiting’ that are now so interested in hockey,” Davis said. “We need to create stickiness with those new fans,” she said. Davis said the league needs to demonstrate through actions, not just words, that it is creating a welcoming environment for the LGBTQ+ community. Asked about Heated Rivalry season 2, which is expected to premiere in April 2027 on Crave and HBO Max, she said it will involve a league commissioner character. However, Gary Bettman, the NHL’s actual commissioner, has “shared with the co-producers that what they say about him [in the show] is not at all the way he would react” to a plot point, said Davis. “We have work to do in preparation for that,” she said."
