A section of 'The Changing Face of Hockey - Diversity in Our Game' exhibit features items from Para Hockey including prosthetic limbs, jerseys, trophies and more.

THE CHANGING FACE OF HOCKEY – DIVERSITY IN OUR GAME EXHIBIT

The Changing Face of Hockey - Diversity in Our Game is a permanent exhibit that brings to light the challenges faced by marginalized people across North America in their struggle for social equality and acceptance in the great game of hockey.

The display pays homage to the pioneers who confronted discrimination from the hockey world through their perseverance, talent, and courage. They have enriched the cultural landscape of hockey and established a tangible forum in which to fight prejudices still faced by many, both in hockey and in life.

The display makes its permanent home within the St. Louis Bar and Grill Arena Zone.
