this blew up way more than i expected, but by popular demand I’ll keep this thread pinned on my profile if you wanna follow along 🫶 I’ll update it every game (or every other one if something comes up)
the overwhelming majority of hockey fans who've made me feel safe as a queer man at games and online have been women. they've also been some of the funniest, most talented, and most knowledgeable fans i've met. women belong in hockey. as fans, as journalists, and as players.
one of the most important conversations we can ever have in regards to mental health, professional sports, and the challenges our athletes face. we love you so much big Vin and i hope your vulnerability helps even just one person feel more seen and able to seek help ❤️
