Starting next season, players, coaches and support staff will be provided anti-racism education seminars, the league announced Wednesday. "We know that discrimination unfortunately still exists in our society," he said in the release, and anti-racism education is required in order for change to occur. 'We know that discrimination unfortunately still exists in our society,' MJHL comissioner Kevin Saurette said in a news release, and anti-racism education is required in order for change to occur.
