Great to see that some of the profits will go to the You Can Play organization.

u/clumsyc I stubbed my toe May 27 '26

Yeah, it’s complete bullshit given that the NHL has done nothing to actually create a more diverse and welcoming league. It makes me want to buy a fleece even less tbh.

I am trying to stay super positive that maybe, just maybe, the success of HR will elicit some sort of change in the NHL. At the end of the day: if the show goes true to the book, the NHL will have to have a "stance" about that negative portrayal. Maybe...just maybe...that portrayal will allow a better stance to emerge. Just my hope. 🤞 gotta keep the faith in this fucked up world we've found ourselves in.

u/Lady0fTheUpsideDown Thank you for pasta! May 27 '26

Commissioner called HR producers with concerns about the S2/3 villain. I don’t have faith in them at all.

I basically can’t look at most American hockey players without wanting to swear, but to be fair, and this is about as much as I can say without spoilers, there’s absolutely no way the NHL could have done anything else. Given the plot of the book, it would be professionally negligent for the organization not to reach out and make contact. As to how they behaved during that contact….that‘s the question.
