Every day throughout February, Hockey Is For Everyone activities will focus awareness on such areas as LGBTQ; ethnicity and gender equality; socio-economic status and those with disabilities.”
There will be a Hockey is for Everyone night for every organization throughout the month of February. The full calendar can be found here, and is pictured below:
