Every NHL team now has an "LGBTQ-inclusion ambassador"

You knew it was coming, now they want to ruin hockey



Every NHL team now has an "LGBTQ-inclusion ambassador" for a league that has no openly gay players.

The NHL will host events throughout the month for its "Hockey Is For Everyone™" initiative that raise awareness about LGBTQ issues and gender equality in the all-men league.

"The NHL is teaming up with the You Can Play project to create more visibility for LGBTQ inclusion in the league and build a list of team ambassadors that creates a web of support reaching all 30 team locker rooms," reported Outsports.com, a website run by SB Nation.

"Every day throughout February, Hockey Is For Everyone activities will focus awareness on such areas as LGBTQ; ethnicity and gender equality; socio-economic status and those with disabilities."

The ambassadors' purpose is for other players to have someone they can "reach out to if they need support." Outsports.com noted, "there has never been a current or former NHL player who has come out publicly."

"Every other major pro league in North America has at least two," the website added.

The leagues now sells "pride tape" to put on hockey sticks for $6.99 a roll. The rainbow tape aims to "Stop Homophobia in Hockey. One Roll at a Time."

The NHL's announcement of the ambassadors comes as the "refs, and the league, are declaring war on fighting."

Hockey is the ******* 180 degree antithesis of the wimpy, ****y, spineless, soft-*** **** being foisted on us by the lefty, LGBTQFASDFADGAGDAGAGA retards on the left.

Seriously, there is nothing more anti-LAGHAGARHARGTAEGBAHSREGTAERBHHAERGARRGARGAR than the NHL.

Get 2 teeth knocked out? Get a new mouthpiece and play, *****.
