The NHL has announced a historic partnership with the You Can Play Project in order to advance their commitment to fighting homophobia!
Having been a supporter of the You Can Play Project since it began in 2012, the NHL plans to take their support to a whole new level by contributing to education and training for players, media and fan as well as more public service announcements.
With the You Can Play Project, the NHL hopes to make hockey the most inclusive sport from the very beginner levels all the way to the pros. You Can Play will conduct lectures to educate prospective players about Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual and Transgender (LGBT) issues and will also make their resources and staff available to individual teams as deemed necessary.
