Sheldon Kennedy never envisioned a moment like this two decades ago.

Kim Davis didn't see it coming as recently as 2018.

The pair led a discussion Monday with the NHL's 32 general managers at their annual meeting -- their first in-person gathering since March 2020 because of the pandemic -- as the league continues its attempt to push forward on the issues of safety, inclusion and respect in the aftermath of the investigation into the Chicago Blackhawks mishandling a player alleging a video coach sexually assaulted him in 2010.

The NHL is taking a stand against Russia and its ongoing invasion of Ukraine.

In a news release Monday, the league outlined measures it has put in place as a reprimand for Russia's actions.

"The National Hockey League condemns Russia's invasion of Ukraine and urges a peaceful resolution as quickly as possible," the statement read. "Effective immediately, we are suspending our relationships with our business partners in Russia and we are pausing our Russian language social and digital media sites. In addition, we are discontinuing any consideration of Russia as a location for any future competitions involving the NHL."
