The 2025 Hockey Conference: In the Echoes of Reckoning June 17 – 19 : Network News
July 30, 2025 — From June 17 to 19 this summer, I had the distinct pleasure of attending the Hockey Conference. The Hockey Conference is a biennial conference for members of the hockey community, where the work of scholars, practitioners, and others is shared, and those with a vested interest in improving the game we all love are given a forum to share their vision for doing so. Winnipeg had the good fortune of playing host to the Hockey Conference this year at the Fort Garry Hotel thanks to the tireless work of the Faculty of Law’s own Dr. Martine Dennie, my fellow 3L students Stefan Lewis and Seth Garcia, and the other members of the Conference’s Committee, whom I list below. The theme of this year’s Conference was “In the Echoes of Reckonings.” It centred around how the sport—at all levels—could respond to the light being shone on hockey’s history of violence, homophobia, classism, misogyny, ableism, racism, and other related issues in hockey culture.
