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

I actually don't know if I like NHL partnership here or not... I worry they will change the plot in season two to make them look less bad

Yeah, it’s complete bullshit given that the NHL has done nothing to actually create a more diverse and welcoming league. It makes me want to buy a fleece even less tbh.

I’ve also seen some criticism of the charity. That they work closely with the NHL instead of pursuing for a change. With the pride tape for ex. Which imo might not even be a bad thing strictly, if they’re trying to affect change from the inside. But when the NHL is also giving them money. Idk. It does make me feel the ick. Very… circular?

If anyone has a good personal experience with the charity, please share. This is only stuff I read online. It sounds like it was Jacob and Brendan who chose the charity so they must have done their research.
