Hockey is for everyone.
Mats Zuccarello has been named the New York Rangers’ You Can Play ambassador. Former Ranger Brian Boyle will serve as the Lightning’s YCP ambassador.
From the league’s press release:
This season, NHL Clubs have designated one player to be a You Can Play ambassador, being a leader in the locker room and in the community on diversity, equality, and inclusion. Additionally, select Clubs will designate one home game as a You Can Play night, celebrating members of the local LGBTQ community with ceremonial puck drops, anthem singers, features on hometown heroes, and ‘Pride Tape’ will be used during pregame warm up.
