Documentary Screening: "The Hockey Player"

The Office of LGBTQ+ Initiatives invites you to the screening of "The Hockey Player."

The documentary tells the story of the first openly gay hockey player under contract in the NHL.

"A Canadian-born defenseman Luke Prokop became the first — and still only — professional athlete playing under contract to an NHL team to come out as gay. Growing up in Edmonton steeped in Canada’s tough, often homophobic hockey culture, and playing without gay role models throughout professional sports, Luke’s path to coming out of the closet has been neither easy nor obvious."

Prokop will meet with the Colgate community at 11:30 a.m. on Aug. 31 in 27 Persson Hall.
