This is what leadership looks like! Thank you Kurtis Gabriel for an amazing chat this week on allies and the importance of speaking up, sticking your neck out and being visible to communities that need support. Your leadership towards LGBTQ+ equality in the NHL, AHL, and the rest of our hockey community is making a huge difference - your words and actions are making the sport better for everyone! #hockeyisforeveryone #youcanplay #allies #leadershipcharacter

Great leadership Sportsnet and Brian Burke...he needs allies. Thank you for publicly showing Yanic support from the NHL/professional sports level, he will be in the spotlight for a while and needs as much support from the hockey community as possible.

Brock McGillis spoke with us a few months ago about challenges in the current hockey culture - see attached his story and the work he’s doing with the Leafs! https://www.thestar.com//at-last-something-to-make-us-trul!!!
