ICE HOCKEY. NHL Commissioner, Jew Gary Bettman, says he wants to "improve the world" as he now clears out ice hockey coaches accused of racist statements and an authoritarian leadership style. The behavior of the designated coaches is called "abuse" and, according to Bettman, these will no longer be tolerated within the NHL.

It has stormed the majority of coaches in the North American Hockey League National Hockey League (NHL). This after players accused them of "abuse", which consisted of alleged racist statements and an authoritarian leadership style.
First to be petted was Bill Peters , coach of the Canadian NHL team Calgary Flames and as late as 2018 coach of the Canadian ice hockey national team. He was fired for alleged "racist attacks" against half-Nigerian former NHL player Akim Aliu ten years ago when Peters coached the AHL team Rockford IceHogs.
Since then, for example, NHL coaches such as Mike Babcock and Marc Crawford have ended up in the shotgun, where Crawford has been suspended from his position as coach of the Chicago Blackhawks while investigating charges against him. These have mainly been about their authoritarian leadership style, which in the media is described as "physical and mental abuse".
One of the former NHL players now accusing Crawford is a Swedish, namely Sweden Radio's hockey expert Per Svartvadet , who had Crawford as coach when he played in the now defunct NHL team Atlanta Trashers almost 20 years ago.
- We met our coach for the first time and he walked around the dressing room and greeted everyone. When can come to me he took my hand, looked me in the eyes and said "I hate Swedish center forwards, just so you know about it". And so he just went on. Our relationship was pretty chilly afterwards, says Svartvadet, who played center forward.
At the same time, the Swedish Henrik Sedin , acclaimed player of the NHL Vancouver Canucks, has gone out and defended his former coach Marc Crawford and his leadership style.
- He believed in us and could definitely be tough and tough in how he treated us, but it was never something physical. He taught us an incredible amount and he is a big part of us becoming the players we became, ”Sedin tells Swedish Radio's Radio Sport.
Swedish star goalkeeper Robin Lehner of the Chicago Blackhawks is also facing the mass media description of the coaches. In an interview with The Athletic site, he defends his former coach Marc Crawford and says he wants to nuance the issue and that the discussion has become "ridiculous".

He also thinks that "everyone deserves a second chance".
- These people are not evil. They are not bad people. They don't want to ruin anyone. But we judge people's actions many, many years ago by a view we have of society today. Ten years ago, when I entered the league, 15-20 years ago, things like this were the norm. That was the norm. These people thought it was the best way to achieve results, "Lehner told Athletic.
- Now we judge the person. We judge the people and we let the "cancel culture" and pressure from social media destroy people's lives, he continues.
What Lehner is referring to as the "cancel culture" is the culture that permeates the American establishment, but to some extent also the Swedish, where public figures have their lives destroyed by mass media drives due to old events that get a new assessment in step with society's ever-changing "norms".
Lehner even goes so far as to say that the trainers were not properly "trained" twenty years ago, when many of the incidents for which the coaches are now accused must have occurred. In other words, the cultural Marxist indoctrination was not as formalized when the coaches previously acted in a way that today is not considered politically correct.
- I mean they weren't educated then, and then it was [the behavior] a norm. Go back twenty years and see how people raised their children, says Lehner.
- We are not talking about the hundreds of people who will say they love Crawford. I love him. He's just been good to me. He is not an evil man. He did things because he thought he was helping people.
Players in shock: "We didn't expect this" The
last in the line of coaches to be fired is Dallas Stars coach Jim Montgomery , who allegedly violated the club's "value foundation". The club writes in a press release that " expect all our employees to act with integrity and show professional behavior while working for our organization " and that the decision to kick Montgomery was made because he exhibited " unprofessional behavior and after breaking against the Dallas Stars and the NHL's values " . However, it is not specified exactly what the alleged value-based crime should have consisted of.
Dallas Stars players are shocked that their coaches have been kicked and have no idea what has happened.
"This is a huge shock, we did not expect this," said team star Tyler Seguin in a statement.

One of the most driving people in the drive against ice hockey coaches is NHL commissioner, Jew Gary Bettman , who has decided to clear out all NHL coaches who do not meet his template for how an ice hockey coach should behave.
"We will not tolerate abuse in any form," says Bettman, among other things in the press release from the recently held Board of Governors meeting, which is held annually between all owners and general managers in the NHL.
Bettman also presented a new action plan that all NHL clubs now have to live up to. The Hockey News site has summarized the main points:
1. Zero tolerance applies. All clubs must immediately report inappropriate, illegal or abusive behavior to Bettman himself, or his number two Bill Daly . In the event of failure to do so, the club and individuals in question may expect "harsh punishment".
2. All coaches, general managers (including assistants) must attend an annual course where, among other things, education on diversity, inclusion and bullying is on the wallpaper.
3. Inappropriate behavior will be punished by either the club in question, the league or both.
4. Whistle blowers should be protected. A new platform will be created so that inappropriate behavior can be reported anonymously to the league.
Gary Bettman says he is happy with the radical changes in the NHL and that these will change the world "for the better".
- The world is changing for the better. This is an opportunity, and a moment, for positive change and this development should be accelerated - for the benefit of everyone who is part of the sport that we love, says Bettman summarily in his statement.
Juden Bettman has been the NHL's commissioner since 1993, when the post created an exclusive for him. As a commissioner, he is the league's chief executive and has during his many years in service become unpopular among both players and fans. In particular, he has been severely criticized for his handling of the various strikes that hit the NHL due to conflicts between clubs and the players' union regarding wage settlements. During one of the strikes, the entire season 2004-05 had to be canceled.
Despite the criticism of his handling of the strikes, these have been very favorable to Bettman himself. Before the 04-05 strike, Bettman's annual salary was $ 3.77 million. It had increased to $ 7.23 million for the season 07-08, and as compensation for the 2012-13 strike, his annual salary increased to $ 8.8 million. Already during the 2013–14 season, Bettman's annual salary increased further, earning no less than $ 9.5 million.
