* This is an unlisted youtube video that is Canadian news special from 2010 about the Legacy of Brendan Burke. In it, a then current NHL player confirms that there are gay players, their teams know, and other details. Also, it mentions a 'cancelled press conference' that was going to be about a player coming out.
Weird thing is, I swear to you I remember hearing about that press conference thing way back then. I wasn't into hockey then, but I knew people on LJ who were and also people who just were hype for queer news.
* Anyway, I am making references posts for myself of links to things like that. I also need to start one for some HR media about things Jacob Tierny and others have said, because they said cool thing... but if I ever quote them I want sources. There has just been so much media... so many good statements, François Arnaud pushing back against bullshit criticisms of the show, etc. I need to make like a personal reference index... eventually.
