S2E10 | Making Hockey More Inclusive with Future of Hockey Lab

  • Summary

  • How do we make hockey culture more accessible to women and non-binary players? Amy Walsh and Cailin Ahloy join James and Alec on this episode of Matter Of 'Fax to talk about some of their inclusive work with Future of Hockey Lab. They share some of their 'aha' moments in recognizing the importance of male coach allyship, as well as their experience using Women's World Juniors to promote diversity and inclusion in hockey.

    Amy Walsh is the CEO and co-founder of the Future of Hockey Lab (FHL), established in 2020 to innovate and transform hockey culture in partnership with leading organizations. Previously, as Executive Director of Hockey Nova Scotia, she led initiatives such as the Diversity & Inclusion Task Force and the Players Journey project, addressing barriers and promoting inclusivity in the sport. Amy has held leadership roles in various hockey committees, including the NHL & NHLPA Female Hockey Advisory Committee, and has a strong background in sport development and advocacy for social change through sports. She is also a former amateur multi-sport athlete and a dedicated mother and volunteer.

    Cailin Ahloy began her career in the world of large-scale international multi-sport events focused on leaving a legacy of benefits for society. Driven by her desire to play a larger role in driving positive change she made her way to MaRS Discovery District working out of their Solutions Lab. Here she was a part of team leading systems change and delivering tangible solutions to some of Toronto's most challenging problems. A Project Manager by trade, she currently leads the Project Management Office for eCampusOntario, a not for profit tasked with the delivery of the Virtual Learning Strategy for the Province of Ontario.
