Inclusiveness & Diversity at SEMI Hockey
SEMI Hockey is dedicated to welcoming EVERYONE to our Hockey Community. Our organization strongly supports initiatives to remove racism and prejudice from our game. Hockey is a sport that can be a great community builder and our game needs to continue to find ways to welcome all people, of any age, to enjoy the sport. We support rules that enforce Zero Tolerance for abuse of any kind on or off the ice. We will continue to increase our education to coaches, players and parents about the importance of inclusion and diversity.
