University of Connecticut Hockey Team welcomes gay players

University of Connecticut men’s hockey team have released two videos for the “You Can Play” project to end homophobia in sports.

The Associated Press reports:

The goal of the international initiative, which was launched in March, is to work to end homophobia in hockey.

“We thought it was a great idea to show the community how we feel about homosexuality in sports, and let people know that anyone can play on our team,” said UConn captain Sean Ambrosie.

The public service videos are posted on YouTube and the UConn website, and are scheduled to be featured in the coming days on the You Can Play site.

In them, the players pledge to support “any teammate, gay or straight, that can help us win games.”
