##/r/hockey stands with BLM and the fight against racism

Though it shouldn't be a surprise with the multitude of threads from players and organizations alike filling r/hockey and compiled just down below, we did want to make it explicit that r/hockey has and will continue to fight against racism in all its forms.

We think the murder of George Floyd by the hands of police is abhorrent. We will continue to lift the voices of the hockey community that speak up against racism by ensuring their posts make it to r/hockey for those to read.

And we will continue to enforce and remove any comments or racist remarks as well as all bigotry, sexism and xenophobia.

For a list of ways to donate, get involved or see how you can be a part of #BLM please follow this fantastic link: https://www.timeout.com/things-to-do/how-to-support-black-lives-matter
