"Some of the biggest stars in the NHL came together to create a public service announcement (PSA) to help promote equality, encouraging the acceptance of LGBT athletes in the sport. It's part of the "You Can Play" project....." "We are going to expand it to other sports, male and female," said Patrick Burke.http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=620668&print=true, http://youcanplayproject.org/, http://thestir.cafemom.com/sports/134033/you_can_play_project_against More than 30 players have taped spots, which are going to air throughout the season. HBO, CBC and the Root Sports affiliate in Denver were involved in filming the PSAs. The first PSA commercial ran on NBC during the New York Rangers vs. Boston Bruins game and seen by hockey fans around the country. After a series of PSA commercials that hopefully will raise public awareness, a resource guide called "Our Playbook" will be published for coaches, players and administrators to make their sport teams/programs safer for all.:thumbsup:
