Hockey: Canada West to Host “Stick Up for Pride Tape” Weekend
Jan. 4, 2024 – Canada West has announced its inaugural “Stick Up for Pride Tape” weekend, set to take place at rinks across CW from Jan. 12 to 13.
Hockey student-athletes will have the opportunity to wear Pride Tape during games throughout the weekend, furthering a conference wide commitment to supporting the LGBTQ+ community, celebrating diversity and creating an inclusive environment through sport for all student-athletes, coaches, officials and fans.
In addition to Pride Tape being worn on the ice, educational information and resources will be shared with fans both in-arena and on social media.
The initiative will also spotlight two organizations dedicated to promoting diversity, equality and inclusion through sport, including Pride Tape and You Can Play.
