Meh, talk is cheap. I'm skeptical of all this as it comes across as grandstanding and showing how progressive he is as an executive. There are other issues at play - namely the hockey culture in the dressing room and all the verbal insults thrown around. How would a woman behind the bench take to that? Right or wrong, it's probably going to be an issue for awhile. I don't know if any of the old boys clubs in any of the big major league sports will take the chance in the near term. Is there even a black coach in hockey right now?
