Kreider, Zibanejad, Fox and Goodrow took part in the Shoulder Check Showcase for the HT40 Foundation. Kreider’s comment on the unhealthiness of hypermasculinity stood out particularly to me.
* “It’s a small thing, but it’s a big thing,” Rangers forward Chris Kreider said. “It’s just reaching out. It’s a difficult world for kids to grow up in now, and I think doubly so for young athletes. Sometimes there could be this hypermasculine identity associated with athletics and playing through stuff, whether it be physical or mental. Being a man and being mature is about talking about feelings. It’s about looking out for the people around you. It’s a small thing but in the long run, very big.”
