Florida Gov. Ron Desantis’ office blasts NHL for ‘discriminatory’ job fair

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis’s office blasted the National Hockey League for hosting a ‘discriminatory’ job fair that only allows certain groups of people to attend.

The event, titled ‘Pathway to Hockey Summit’ is scheduled for on Feb. 2 during the 2023 All Star Festivities in Fort Lauderdale, Florida, and seeks to help ‘diverse job seekers who are pursuing careers in hockey.’

According to a post by the NHL promoting the event on LinkedIn, the event is only open to certain groups of people.

‘Participants must be 18 years of age or older, based in the U.S., and identify as female, Black, Asian/Pacific Islander, Hispanic/Latino, Indigenous, LGBTQIA+, and/or a person with a disability. Veterans are also welcome and encouraged to attend,’ the event description states. 

In a statement, Bryan Griffin, press secretary for DeSantis, said that the event is discriminatory.

‘Discrimination of any sort is not welcome in the state of Florida, and we do not abide by the woke notion that discrimination should be overlooked if applied in a politically popular manner or against a politically unpopular demographic. We are fighting all discrimination in our schools and our workplaces, and we will fight it in publicly accessible places of meeting or activity,’ Griffin said.

Griffin also said that the NHL should ‘immediately remove and denounce the discriminatory prohibitions it has imposed on attendance to the 2023 ‘Pathway to Hockey’ summit.’

Several hockey teams are sending representatives to the event, including the Florida Panthers, Tampa Bay Lightning, San Jose Sharks, Chicago Blackhawks, Pittsburgh Penguins, Anaheim Ducks, Nashville Predators, Seattle Kraken, Washington Capitals, and the Carolina Hurricanes.

‘The day will be filled with guest speakers and panelists, networking opportunities, and more!,’ the post says of the event.
