Please take a few short minutes to watch this. Brendan and his vision of inclusion and belonging was, is and will always be our North Star in everything we do at #YouCanPlay #NHL #HockeyIsForEveryone – at Warsaw, Poland
During Pride month the Burke family shows us a path of positivity born from personal tragedy. #HockeyIsForEveryone"

Arizona, Colorado, Nebraska, and Washington voted to restrict transgender athletes’ participation in sports.

Being yourself shouldn't be a barrier to reaching your potential.
Megan Rapinoe reminds us that athletes can lead with courage, authenticity, and purpose, both on and off the field. ⚽

Italian Canadians stand with our Jewish friends and neighbours, for a Canada where every community can live safely, openly and with dignity.

Athlete well-being matters just as much as performance.
The NCAA's student-athlete well-being research reminds us why mental health deserves attention in every sports program.
Supporting athletes means caring about the person, not just the player.

Sports are always evolving. Great coaching evolves with them.
From new technology to changing team dynamics, staying curious and willing to learn helps coaches better support the next generation of athletes.

Great teams are built on more than talent. They're built on trust, respect, and the courage to stand up for one another. ⚽
Let's keep creating a sports culture where every athlete belongs.

86% of gay and 89% of lesbian youth surveyed reported staying at least partly closeted with teammates. No young athlete should have to choose between being part of the team and being themselves. This Halloween, the scariest thing shouldn’t be telling your teammates who you are.

“It’s just a joke” doesn’t erase the impact. Jonas Worth talks about why we need to stop normalizing antisemitic, homophobic, and racist language and how everyday words help shape the culture of a team. #YouCanPlay #InclusiveSport #TeamCulture #StopHate #LGBTQSports
Great to hear from @FlavioVolpe1 on the Italian legacy in Toronto and Canada 🇨🇦🇮🇹

What gets lost when transgender athletes become a political talking point? The athletes themselves. Ren talks about the real people behind the headlines and what young people can lose when access to sport becomes a battleground. #YouCanPlay #TransAthletes #YouthSports

Trans people belong in sport. 🏳️⚧️ As athletes. As coaches. As fans. As officials. As teammates. As leaders. Sport is stronger when everyone has the opportunity to participate and belong. #YouCanPlay #TransPeopleBelong #TransAthletes

66% surveyed believed openly LGBT people wouldn’t be very safe as sports spectators. Fans deserve to belong, too. Creating inclusive sport means thinking beyond the athletes on the field and building environments where everyone can cheer safely and openly. #YouCanPlay
We have got to stop this. For years people gripe and groan “why are there no out players in the NHL?!” This constant speculation, is he isn’t he, is she isn’t she. What does this serve other than to ensure people keep it quiet so as to not face the circus.
From a source I trust:
Two players on the Toronto Maple Leafs are allegedly dating each other… both have wives and kids.
Yes. Teammates.

23% of gay men and 13% of lesbians surveyed reported experiencing physical assaults in sport. Sport should challenge athletes, not threaten their safety because of who they are. We can build something better. #YouCanPlay #SafeSport #LGBTQSports #SportForAll
A very Happy 63rd Anniversary to my parents! My mom is a saint. Hit it boys!
