In the wake of the TSN interview with sexual assault victim Kyle Beach, the NHL released a memo to all teams containing details on how the league is supposed to be about "inclusion, safety and respect for all."

We are posting the full three-page memo below, but here are a few snippets on interest:

-"As stewards of the game, our ownership, executives, staff, Players, fans and broader industry ecosystem expect that we, as leaders, ensure environments that represent and reinforce our values and standards. Each day, all of us represent the NHL Shield. This is true regardless of whether your work function puts you in the locker room, on the ice, in an office or elsewhere."

"All League and Club personnel, including Players, are required to immediately report to the Commissioner or Deputy Commissioner conduct involving NHL and/or Club personnel, on or off the ice, that is clearly inappropriate, unlawful or demonstrably abusive, or that may violate the League's policies"

"Reports can be made directly or via each organization's internal protocols, or via the NHL Hotline, which has been operational since December 2020. The NHL Hotline is administered by Deloitte and reports can be made anonymously or for attribution based on the preference of the reporter."
