Hockey culture is experiencing major issues. Racial slurs on the ice, homophobia in the locker room, and a constant stream of allegations of sexual assault at the hands of players and coaches. But the sport itself is a game we love. How can we make things right? Wes sits down with Renee Hess, founder of The Black Girl Hockey Club and Mark Fraser, a former Toronto Maple Leaf who is now on their Diversity, Equity and Inclusion team, for a conversation about the future of the sport they love.
