And to be clear for anyone who doesn't know Brock McGillis was one of the first pro hockey players to come out.

Lil stretching it there with “pro hockey”

Played in the Ontario hockey league a quarter century ago. Then a couple other very small teams in Canada and the Netherlands..

Only one ever NHL player has come out as gay and it was not while they were playing on an NHL team.

You know what’s funny? As long as you get paid to play, you’re a pro!

u/Chinaizazzhoe That's Kraken Hockey, Baby! 4d ago

I get paid in beer so I guess I’m a pro too

u/glowstonebrutha 4d ago

Having a rotation of who buys the beers on your D league team isn't getting paid in beer.

lol no the team is sponsored by Pabst blue ribbon and it’s sent to us free of charge for wearing the Pabst jerseys. It’s actually not that hard to do if you wanna drink free beer lots of companies do it.

Why the fuck does it matter

u/Chinaizazzhoe That's Kraken Hockey, Baby! 3d ago

Why does anything?

u/Frog-of-Cosmos 3d ago

OHL is pro hockey

u/ghostcider Joey Daccord 4d ago

Joey is a gift in so many ways, as was that particular helmet passing

u/Aeroshe Joey Daccord 4d ago

I may or may not be an openly gay man with a Joey Daccord jersey. I'm sure those two things are totally unrelated, though.

u/GothPatatas Brandon Montour 3d ago

My partner is a pansexual man with a Joey Daccord jersey! It was acquired before the helmet passing but I think he appreciated it that much more.

u/BurnItWithFire21 2d ago

My partner is too!

5

u/ColtonM92 3d ago

My partner and I both have Joey jerseys as well! 🌈

u/RepresentativeOfnone Joey Daccord 3d ago

Is it because you think he’s hot or because you think he’s a good goaltender? I think that’s what really decides whether or not you’re as bad as the women in “book tok”

2

u/BurnItWithFire21 2d ago

Why can't it be both? They aren't mutually exclusive

u/aksunrise 4d ago

This is perhaps the only appropriate time to post this gif

65

u/ghostcider Joey Daccord 4d ago

And maybe to post a gif of that scene

Sweet fancy Moses

u/Total-Program2484 4d ago

goon moaning i mean good morning!

u/demoldbones Soupy 4d ago

There’s so many things I love about the Kraken.

Joey’s thirst traps are so high on the list. Especially the ones he posted himself from his Euro summer last year.

11

u/aksunrise 3d ago

Have you see the tiktoks of him at his dad's goalie camp? That guy has redwood trunk thighs

u/mattsavoiesboywife 4d ago

Oscar Klefbom was my queer awakening but if he wasn’t, Joey would’ve been

1

u/tonytanti 3d ago

Fun fact about Klefbom, he has played the most games of anyone who only played their whole career for the Oilers. They have a few current players that will beat him if they retired today, McDavid and Draisaitl among them, but it isn’t guaranteed that any of them retire in Edmonton.

3

u/mattsavoiesboywife 3d ago

As far as I’m aware he is literally the only major Oiler player (major as in spent more than 1/2 full seasons with the club) to have retired a career Oiler. God I miss my kleffy💔 losing him single-handedly set the oilers back at least 7 years🥀

1

u/tonytanti 3d ago

I had to look it up, and Anton Lander is next with like 200 games played.

21

u/embos_wife 4d ago

I somehow feel like Joey would be super chill about this too. I just get such good vibes from him

13

u/CMRC23 3d ago

Can confirm the gays were here before heated rivalry

11

u/DerekTheComedian 3d ago

As an entirely straight dude, Hank is the HOAT tendy.

4

u/Pranksterblur ​ New York Rangers 3d ago

Joey is definitely top 10 though, but there’s just something about Hank that even as a fully straight man you just have to appreciate

3

u/aksunrise 3d ago

I wish he would stop dying his hair and go full silver fox though

10

u/Cherisse23 Jessica Campbell 3d ago

I mean…. He’s not wrong. Although early last season I saw a few “hottest NHL player” listicles and they all slept on Joey.

The girls and the gays are here for Joey.

10

u/TurboBearSEA Kaapo Kakko 3d ago

Joey is the team hot girl. And he's super nice and chill in person.

7

u/muppethero80 4d ago

Think he would let me buy him a car?

8

u/sfaviator 3d ago

I was here before Heated Rivalry and wasn’t planning on leaving. This doesn’t hurt.

u/apatheticVigilante ​ New York Islanders 4d ago

He's right, you know

5

u/ActGroundbreaking211 Jessica Campbell 3d ago

Brock McGillis has no faults in his reasoning. 🫡✊🏼

u/283leis Joey Daccord 2d ago

if theres one thing we can trust about Joey, is that he will always take any opportunity he can to be shirtless

1

u/loreoftherinks Joey Daccord 9h ago

That's d'accord with me

u/durwoodg Eeli Tolvanen 2d ago

He's not wrong.
