You Can Play Awareness Night - February 20, 2020
In celebration of the NHL's Hockey Is For Everyone month, the Toronto Maple Leafs hosted a You Can Play Awareness Night, supported by Scotiabank on Thursday, February 20th. 50 members from You Can Play were invited to watch the game in the Ford Fan Deck. Players taped their warmup sticks with rainbow pride tape, management and coaching staff wore You Can Play pins, and Scotiabank Arena was transformed with rainbow lighting. You Can Play also set up a booth in the concourse to hand out informational material and educate fans on the work they do to promote inclusion in sports.
To help raise funds and awareness, You Can Play/Leafs-branded toques were sold at Real Sports Apparel with 100% of the proceeds benefitting You Can Play.
