Given all the work that Penguins President of Hockey Operations Brian Burke has done over the years to help honor his late son, it shouldn’t be a surprise the Pens will participate in the NHL’s first Pride Game. From the team:
The Pittsburgh Penguins and Buffalo Sabres will celebrate the LGBTQ+ community as they co-host the NHL’s first-ever joint Pride Game on Saturday, April 17 at KeyBank Center in Buffalo. The game will be nationally televised on NBC at 3:00 PM.
The Penguins and Sabres’ Pride Game aims to bring together two cities to celebrate LGBTQ+ communities by sharing stories of inclusion, hope and allyship.
