Keep Pride in the Game
is a campaign in response to the uproar caused by professional hockey players declining to wear Pride warm-up jerseys during the previous season.

Screenshots of headlines, over hockey jersey materials. Headlines reading “NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman hints that league may get rid of Pride Nights: ‘More of a Distraction Now’” “NHL’s Pride nights collide with LGBTQ+ political climate” “Bettman: NHL to evaluate Pride nights in offseason after some players refuse to wear jerseys” “Report: NHL looking at cancelling Pride Night celebrations”

This campaign aims to promote the importance of league-wide support for the 2SLGBTQ+ community by highlighting that it loses its significance without the backing of the entire league. The launch of this initiative coincides with the NHL's recent decision to prohibit the use of Pride jerseys in the future.

The public's attention will be on the NHL as they host their entry draft event in Nashville, TN, marking their first appearance since this announcement on June 28.

Hockey should be for EVERYONE.
