Great story and great points! So, I'm not exactly a hockey fan, but over the last couple years I've gotten to know hockey player Kurtis Gabriel a little bit, because of his outspoken support for Pride nights, Luke Prokop, and LGBTQ inclusivity.
Kurtis is straight, but he's a real force for positivity.
I apologize for including a link to one of my own stories under your story, but I think you might like reading this, as a hockey fan.
Kurtis, btw, has continued to engage with my stories and tweets ever since, and to occasionally give supporting quotes about LGBTQ issues to publications like Outsports.
