You Can Play: Florida Panthers To Host LGBT Hockey Night

You Can Play: Florida Panthers To Host LGBT Hockey Night On Saturday For Gay Players, Fans

Patrick Burke, the NHL’s director of player safety, says that if anyone had once told him he’d either run a gay hockey foundation or “had walked on Mars, I would have picked Mars 100 times out of 100."

Ten years later, Burke still hasn’t walked in space, but he did co-found You Can Play Project, an organization for gay athletes and straight allies.

On Saturday, the Florida Panthers at BB&T Center in Sunrise will host the national LGBT sports group’s first You Can Play Equality Night.
