It’s still there, but shrouded in darkness. You can just make it out if you already know it’s there.

]]> Comment on Why Hockey is For Everyone… isn’t. by Hockey & Homophobia: Ivan Provorov - Whitney Drake https://www.whitneydrake.com/2018/02/01/why-hockey-is-for-everyone-isnt/#comment-2913 Mon, 23 Jan 2023 18:00:25 +0000 http://www.whitneydrake.com/?p=7992#comment-2913 […] I’ve written about this before, but the NHL introduced Hockey Is For Everyone as a PR movement. It said that everyone was welcome, and the only action taken was that teams would have to have one night set aside to support these underserved groups, to highlight them and make it clear that Hockey Is For Everyone. To support the LGBTQ community, the NHL partnered with an organization called You Can Play. These nights began as a general HIFE night, usually combining several underserved groups in one night – but teams would wrap their sticks with rainbow tape, and auction those off. It’s only been within the last two seasons that we’ve seen dedicated pride nights. […]

]]> Comment on Why Hockey is For Everyone… isn’t. by Hockey Culture: Silence, Team First Mentality - Whitney Drake https://www.whitneydrake.com/2018/02/01/why-hockey-is-for-everyone-isnt/#comment-2910 Wed, 20 Jan 2021 16:01:36 +0000 http://www.whitneydrake.com/?p=7992#comment-2910 […] When fans urged the Pens to not go to the White House to visit Trump (pointing out that Trump already had said a number of things that violated the NHL’s Declaration of Principles, as well as enacted policies that harmed their plans), and were met with a bland line from players that it was an honor to go to the White House. That it would disappoint others.  There were a few people who dissented when the Capitals went.  But very few, unfortunately. The loudest voice was Devante Smith-Pelly, who flat out said that Trump had been sexist and racist. Braden Holtby also was very clear that going to meet Trump would violate his own values, but that it was up to each team member to make a decision. […]
