More people of all backgrounds should send in their resumes to apply for a position on the Flames.
In all seriousness, the most recent draft was the most diverse I've ever seen. Whatever encouragement for minority communities to be involved in the game at the grassroots level is working.
Also, as Canada's population becomes more diverse, its only logical that the backgrounds of people playing the game becomes more diverse over time.
