Mission

The Mission of The Carnegie Initiative is:

“Work to ensure that hockey is inclusive, supportive, and welcoming to all.“

The Carnegie Initiative (The CI), named in honor of legendary Hockey Hall of Famer and social justice pioneer Herb Carnegie, was created to ensure opportunity and access to hockey everywhere. Co-founded by Bernice Carnegie and Bryant McBride, and in conjunction with leading academic institutions, The CI focuses on accelerating the work started by Herb Carnegie more than 60 years ago to make hockey more diverse and inclusive.

In short, with the help of our partners and supporters, The CI is changing the culture of hockey.
