Hockey Manitoba mulls change that would allow it to force teams to drop controversial names


An organization that oversees hundreds of hockey teams in Manitoba will consider revising its regulations to allow it to compel teams with controversial or racist names to change them. Hockey Manitoba members are expected to discuss that possibility on Wednesday as a means of ensuring the sport is inclusive in the province. Hockey Manitoba has been in talks with the organization for several years, said Woods. "So, you have to look at different ways and where you can make that change, and certainly a regulation change [for Hockey Manitoba] would be that possibility." He also said Hockey Manitoba wouldn't relish the opportunity to force such a change, including with the Morden hockey team.
