The National Hockey League has joined the growing effort by professional sports and players campaigning to end homophobia, introducing a new series of public service announcements to encourage gay athletes to participate in sports.
The new PSAs — “You Can Play” — feature eight NHL players, including Henrik Lundqvist of the New York Rangers, Corey Perry of the Anaheim Ducks and Daniel Alfredsson from the Ottawa Senators, reported The New York Times on Sunday.
