Thank you to everyone who has signed, shared, and helped bring attention to this petition. Reaching this milestone is both humbling and incredibly encouraging. We're grateful for the support so far and excited to keep building on this momentum!

We’re also proud to have been included on the “Safe Hockey at Every Level” movement page. We encourage everyone to visit the page and support the cause by signing both petitions.

But signatures are only one part of the work.

Behind the scenes, we're analyzing the NHL and NHLPA’s Collective Bargaining Agreement, reviewing how discipline has been handled for off-ice violations, and researching the policies of the NFL, MLB and NBA. We're examining both their approaches and the criticisms they've received to identify lessons that could strengthen our recommendations.

Why? Because implementing a policy like this needs to be about being proactive, not reactive.

The NHL shouldn't be addressing these issues only after another incident makes headlines. We believe clear policies should already exist to guide how allegations of sexual violence, domestic violence and child abuse are handled.

We aren't looking for a reaction to the latest controversy. We're working toward a lasting policy that addresses a longstanding gap in professional hockey.

That takes research, thoughtful consideration and a strong foundation for the changes we're asking the NHL and NHLPA to make.

As we continue this work, we need your help getting the petition in front of more people. The NHL and NHLPA should see how many fans are taking a stand and supporting a call to implement a comprehensive, league-specific policy on these issues. 

Over 9,400 people have supported this call. Let's keep growing that number and show the NHL and NHLPA that this issue deserves serious attention.

If you've already signed, please share it again. Send it to friends and family, post it in hockey communities, and encourage others to add their voices.

Thank you for standing with us and helping move this conversation forward.

🩵💜💙
