Coaches of Color
Currently there are no head coaches of color in any of the top European professional hockey leagues.The lack of diversity behind European professional league team benches and management is visible.
Hockey is Diversity discussed with Coaches of Color Léo Girod (Assistant Coach Lausanne Hockey Club) and Emanuel Beckford (Head Coach Aachener Eishockey Club):
• how minority coaches can get their foot in the door
• how more former minority players go into coaching
• how more kids of color can take up the sport
The Online Discussion round will be aired on our homepage this coming Monday April 26th, 2021 at 4pm CET.
