“I think initially I was very hesitant to watch [Heated Rivalry] at the start because of me being the only professional player that’s out in the men’s game, I didn’t want people who didn’t watch a ton of hockey to associate that with me right away.
"I’d heard about what the show was gonna be about, and obviously I watched the first two episodes, and I’m like, holy crap, like this is not at all what I’m like, and I just didn’t want people to associate that with me.*️⃣
“But actually, the third episode with the storyline with Scott Hunter and Kip Grady, that was one that I could resonate with more because when I was playing hockey before I came out, I did have a boyfriend, and trying to meet up and hang out with him and having a different name for him in my phone – it was a girl’s name, and all those sort of things that they did in their episode, I could really resonate with. Those were some of the experiences that I did have when I was coming out.
“But I think it also was just really good for visibility and to bring the attention and the awareness that I think hockey has been lacking for a very long time. And just bringing attention to people high up in hockey that there are gay players, there are gay fans, and you need to kind of adapt the game to be able to welcome those players.”

16 fucking years of One Direction!!! Blows my mind. Thank you for changing all our lives and the love and passion you all still show is unmatched! Tonight’s going to be a special show.
Spending the rest of the day listening to all the bangers and reminiscing! Thank you for all the memories.
And to my brother I Miss you every day but especially on days like today. I know we’d have been celebrating today together!

You can’t talk shit in a documentary and not expect the person you’re talking about to clock your shit. Perrie should’ve said worse, cuz she was very nice lol.

“There are now six hockey shows in development, none of them gay, and it’s like, guys, I think it wasn’t the hockey that was the big issue.”'
