“Spoke to @Dreamer_Aliu78 who tells me it was the players who initiated the discussion w/@TheOfficialHDA last night. Scott Laughton, James van Riemsdyk & Kevin Shattenkirk all reached out to Chris Stewart, looking for advice on what to do. It led to today's large #NHL group call
Players were looking for answers. Felt as though #NHL was putting this in the players hands. Asked if players felt somewhat forced, "Ya, but who cares?" #HDA was very upset yesterday with lack of movement from league, obv alot has changed today.
Message from #HDA to players, "Don’t let this moment pass, this is bigger than hockey." Next step is to get commitment from #NHL & owners to make meaningful change. Belief is owners have the right relationships, need to make investments & use their networks to sell the message“
