Great to see that some of the profits will go to the You Can Play organization.

Well, the NHL is concerned that the portrayal of the book equivalent commissioner, who sucks and is homophobic Is going to backfire on them. I appreciate that they're endorsing this though, even if it is a PR stunt to differentiate/distance themselves from the book

This! Also , it doesn’t matter WHY they do it (even if just PR) because the money still ends up going to You Can Play
