  1. Hockey is for everyone! I have buddies who are members of the LGBTQ community and they want to get into sports, but think sports culture is pretty homophobic (it definitely can be), so it means a ton to them when they see these sports can be safe for them to watch and play.

  2. Lmfaoooo this is such a peremptory video, dislike. Praying they remove pride night. Go march in your pride parade that focuses on pride, and not at a hockey game that focuses on hockey

  3. Shoutout to Ivan Provorov and James Reimer and all the other hockey players who were demonized for being true to their religion. Stay strong, folks. God always winsāœļø

  4. These are conversations I have with fellow fans when I attend games. It becomes a very personal conversation about their relationship history often diving deep into their childhood. Often times we forget a game is going on and stay at the arena for hours afterward just discussing each others lives.

  5. Most of the comments on this video is the reason WHY there will still be Pride month , folks.
    Maybe take some of the hate out of your heart for your fellow human being and Canadian and maybe try to understand what it's like being someone like this?
    And ya know something else?! It's sad when Capitalism can be more on board with being together on an issue than apart like most hateful folks out here , or the folks that just 'disagree with how people live'
    Thanks most religious folks, I'm sure if there was a large group of people who constantly disagreed with your life and tried to pass laws so you couldn't live life , would be a GREAT thing.

    Judge not and all that…Hockey is for EVERYONE

  6. Wtf does your sexual preference have to do with going to a hockey game? Nobody cared or wanted to know…watch the game and stfu like the rest of us

  7. Disgusting. Every religion and civilization in human history made sure these people stay away from society. And look what happens when you let them out of the closet, they cause havoc and chaos. They target children and infants. I am so sick.

  8. If you need people to accept you in order to be confident, youā€™re probably not confident.

  9. I have no problem with homosexual/alternate sexual lifestyle. Yes, the game of Hockey is inclusiveā€¦thatā€™s not peoples problem. The problem is we donā€™t need crap shoved down our throatsā€¦donā€™t force our opinions/thoughts. I donā€™t see Heterosexual monthā€¦these groups that always ask for equal treatment contradict themselves when they continually request or demand preferential treatment. I donā€™t care what you do or your opinion on x,y or zā€¦I come to watch Hockey entertainmentā€¦if you want to sit down and cheer with meā€¦great! If youā€™ve come to interrupt my entertainment with activism or agenda shut the F up itā€™s not why i am sitting in a Hockey stadium. Not marginalizing anyoneā€¦I donā€™t care if youā€™re Heterosexual if you annoy my entertainment by engaging in discussion not related to the sporting eventā€¦I donā€™t want to hear it. If you want to be treated like the rest of society than shut up, sit down and watch the game!!!!!!
