NHL Reverses Course On ‘Discriminatory’ Job Fair After DeSantis Warns It Won’t Be Tolerated In Florida

The National Hockey League (NHL) reversed course late this week over a controversial job fair that was deemed “discriminatory” after Florida Republican Governor Ron DeSantis warned that it would not be tolerated in the state of Florida.

The job posting was for the NHL’s first “Pathway to Hockey Summit” that is scheduled to take place on February 2 during the league’s All Star festivities in South Florida.

“The Pathway to Hockey Summit is a career event for diverse job seekers who are pursuing careers in hockey,” the NHL said in the now-deleted job posting on LinkedIn. “The day will be filled with guest speakers and panelists, networking opportunities, and more!”
