#this is the newsy pull quote but the entire interview is a delight

The NHL has asked me to do stuff for them, whether that be social media, or interviews, or little promo things here and there, and I've always been willing to do it. And I kinda have been like their flag-bearer a little bit, like the token gay that they're kind of using to show that hockey is for everyone even though they're doing stuff on the outside that's completely opposite. So it felt like a stab in the back, a little bit, from them.

#this is the newsy pull quote but the entire interview is a delight #the info about the logistics of his coming out was fascinating #and his thoughts about the preds' new owner being a former governor responsible for anti-gay legislation #and also they made him pick NFL games based on the relative hotness of the QBs so that was fantastic #my d partner luke prokop
