The Hockey Is For Everyone initiative will run for the next 28 days, and activities will focus on raising awareness on areas such as LGBTQ; ethnicity and gender equality; socio-economic status and those with disabilities. The idea is to support any teammate, coach or fan who brings heart, energy and passion to the rink.
The Avalanche is working to provide a positive and inclusive environment for players, their families and fans of every race, color, religion, national origin, gender, age, sexual orientation, socio-economic status and to those with disabilities. Hockey Is For Everyone uses the game of hockey--and the NHL's global influence--to drive positive social change and foster more inclusive communities.
Fans are encouraged to join the conversation and share their stories of how hockey has made a positive impact by using the official hashtag #HockeyIsForEveryone.
