A group of NHL players has sent a letter to the league and its owners urging them to make it easier for players to share information online.
The Players Association’s letter, signed by more than 100 players including Sidney Crosby, Nicklas Backstrom, Jonathan Toews and Joe Thornton, said players should be able to access their team rosters and game log, and they would like to see an end to the need for players’ personal information to be stored in third-party databases.
“In an era where the privacy of our children and their privacy is becoming increasingly important, we urge you to adopt a comprehensive policy that is based on the principles of fairness, privacy, and access,” the letter said.
“We respectfully request that the NHL consider a policy that allows us to view and access our player information online, so that we can compete in a competitive global marketplace and contribute to our communities and teams.”
The NHLPA was created in 1995, and its primary goal is to help players achieve their dreams.
It has a player-friendly online player-management system that allows players to communicate with each other and manage their schedules.
It has also partnered with Facebook and Twitter, allowing players to see what other players are doing on social media.
The players are calling for the NHL to provide better privacy protections for players.
“The NHL has a fiduciary duty to the players to protect their personal information and to safeguard the privacy and security of their accounts,” the players wrote.
“The NHL and its players have a shared responsibility to provide privacy protections to our players, and to provide our fans with a more complete understanding of who is participating in the game.”
The letter says players should have a way to share their data with their families and other members of the public.
The NHL is currently in the midst of a class-action lawsuit in New York state, which has led to the creation of a website that lets players view information about themselves.
The letter does not call for the league to give up player information.
