Bruins Launch Diversity And Inclusion Scouting Mentorship Program

The Boston Bruins are set to open hockey's doors wider than ever. The Bruins on Monday launched their Diversity and Inclusion Scouting Mentorship Program. The initiative aims to mentor and elevate individuals from underrepresented backgrounds in order to strengthen their pursuit of careers in scouting or other areas of the hockey industry. Participants will partner with a mentor from the Bruins' hockey operations department for nine months between September 2021 and May 2022, during which time they'll gain hands-on experience, build their respective networks and open their career paths. They also will diversify the candidate pool, from which candidates for future scouting and hockey operations positions might be drawn.
