We interviewed Jazmine Miley - pro hockey player and coach and founder of the Hockey Players of Color Movement ("HPOC") - right before she went to Finland to join her hockey team. She explains how she got her start in hockey at age 13(!), but despite her late start (by traditional standards) in the game became an elite defender, played collegiately, and currently plays professionally in Finland. She also described her experiences as a Black woman in hockey and how and why she founded HPOC - a much needed resource for players of color - and what it offers. We also discussed her vision for the organization and her future in hockey and what can be done to make hockey more inclusive.
We closed with a few words from Sydney Kinder, a mentor with HPOC, who played hockey collegiately, and is the force behind the petition to retire Willie O'Ree's number.
