Today, current and former black hockey players have created the Hockey Diversity Alliance. The goal is to get rid of racism throughout the entire sport, and to educate players, parents, and coaches from the minor and major hockey ranks. However, in order to create even more change, not only do black players have to stand up, but even more than that, white players need to stand up; because in order to generate true change and to create a positive atmosphere for the black community, white people need to understand there faults and be more inclusive. They need to talk about what is happening, even if it means getting out of their comfort zones.
