softgrantaire: I know it’s a small league and will never garner the kind of attention as the NHL, AHL, KHL, etc, but Zach Sullivan of the Manchester Storm in the EIHL (the hockey league in the UK) came out as bisexual today (January 26, 2020)! The EIHL is currently (from January 24th to the 26th, or the same weekend as the 2020 NHL All Star Weekend) holding a league wide Pride Weekend. Only a handful of NHL teams have pride nights at all, let alone a league wide weekend. It may be a small team in a small league in a small country not known for its hockey, but it’s still a huge step. This proves to every young kid that gender and sexuality shouldn’t be the reason they stop playing, that they can be themselves regardless of the toxic masculinity in sports, especially in hockey. I wish Zach the best, and I’ll be sure to keep an eye on his career! -- source link
