Many gay and bi men have come out in high school, college and pro hockey, even as the NHL possesses a unique dearth of out athletes.
The post Meet 17 male hockey players who have come out at every level — except the NHL appeared first on Outsports .

The G League season is in full swing. At our last Blue Coats check-in, we were taking early stock as players like Emoni Bates, Kennedy Chandler, MarJon Beauchamp and others made immediate noise. Now, just under a month later, the picture looks very different. Rotations have shifted, personnel has changed, and new storylines have emerged. […]
The 2026 IIHF World Junior Championships have come and gone, and it was an exciting one if you paid a whole lot of attention to Philadelphia Flyers prospects.
From tapping some rear ends, to scoring a whole lot of goals, it seemed like something was always happening for at least one of this team’s prospects in the tournament. And we’re here to look at each individual player’s performance and put a good ol’ fashioned letter grade to it.

The Chargers ended the regular season with a wash of a game where their backups did their best against the Broncos starters. They fell 19-3 and their sights are now set squarely on their wild card matchup against the Patriots. Let’s go ahead and see where they landed amongst the final regular season power rankings. […]
Lane Johnson is expected to return to practice on Wednesday ahead of the Philadelphia Eagles’ Wild Card game against the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday afternoon, according to a report from the Inquirer’s Jeff McLane. Johnson has been unavailable since suffering a Lisfranc injury during the Eagles’ Week 11 win over the Detroit Lions. There […]
Dallas will begin their preseason in the Atlantic Cup in Portugal and the play in Torneo de Tejas.
Since we’re on a good run with Blackhawks prospect content right now, let’s stay with the future of the Chicago Blackhawks.
Blackhawks prospect Roman Kantserov did an interview with Daria Tuboltseva at R.com about his season, an NHL future and moving to center. It’s a good, deep interview with a lot to take away. A couple comments that stood out to me.
The first quote that got my attention was what he said about the Blackhawks still actively recruiting him to sign:
“To be fair...
Nine years ago, there’d been Julio Rodríguez’s before. Each year, dozens of teenagers consummate handshake deals often made when they were middle schoolers, making them millionaires in theory, if not in actuality. From Venezuela to Taiwan, Brazil to Cuba, but perhaps most of all in the Dominican Republic, their signing is a celebration. Nine years […]
As a first round draft pick in 2008, Matt Ryan become one of the greatest Atlanta Falcons ever. He’s the sole league MVP in team history, its all-time leading passer in every category that counts, and went to the playoffs far more frequently than any other quarterback the team has had. He’s not a lock […]
Just writing that headline is enough to make you get goosebumps, folks. No. 6 Ole Miss (13-1) are coming off an emotional comeback win over No. 3 Georgia (12-2) in the Sugar Bowl with a winning field goal in the final seconds. Now, the road Rebels head to the desert for a semifinal game against […]
Over at ESPN, Buster Olney and Jesse Rogers shared their perspectives on what’s happening right now behind the scenes with the MLB offseason. There’s plenty in there to peruse, including some notes on Alex Bregman that Michael will be discussing shortly.
I wanted to call out something on the pitching side, because it’s felt this way for a while, and Olney is specifically giving it voice :
“Which other free agent pitchers are coming up most in your recent conversations? Olney: Suare...
How are you preparing for a third Bears-Packers showdown in the span of 34 days?
Because Chicago and Green Bay are playing on a short week, the first injury report of the week will drop at some point on Tuesday. Subsequent injury report updates will follow on Wednesday and Thursday. Save for cornerback C.J. Gardner-Johnson starting the week in concussion protocol, I feel as if the Bears exited their Week 18 loss against the Detroit Lions relatively unscathed. But we’ll see what the inju...
The Tampa Bay Lightning have ascended to the top of the Eastern Conference on the back of a solid offense and a surprisingly competent defense considering it’s comprised of three players that, if the season had played out as expected, would have been freezing in Syracuse instead of enjoying the sun and fun of Florida. Charle-Edouard D’Astous (19:07), Declan Carlile (14:09), and Max Crozier (15:30) are logging big minutes due to the injuries suffered earlier in the season by some blueline stapl...

The Carolina Hurricanes (25-14-3) are back home and will take on the Dallas Stars (25-9-8) tonight at the Lenovo Center. The Canes are coming off a solid win in New Jersey. They are 4-5-1 in their last 10 games but still sit in first place in the Metropolitan Division. They are one point behind Detroit […]
Yesterday Barry Svrluga reported that the Nats hired Jason Sinnarajah as the President of Business Operations. He was previously with the Kansas City Royals and has also worked for the Buffalo Bills. It looks like the new era of Nationals baseball is not just happening on the baseball operations side. Obviously, baseball is more than […]

I think by now most understand the dangers of the dreaded 2nd apron. However, I’ll sheepishly admit that I may have missed the differences between the 1st apron and the luxury tax lines. Can you help clarify and provide some context to why the Celtics might be motivated to further cut salary this year (or […]
The Winnipeg Jets have gone from the best team in the NHL last season to the worst this season. A big part of that is because of the lack of scoring outside of four players (the top line and Josh Morrissey). Something has to be done as this is a team that is built to compete right now, not in the future. There haven't been any trades yet, but that is where the Jets are headed. Darren Dreger said, "(Cheveldayoff) has assets, Brad Lambert's a nice player, Ville Heinola, those are pieces he'd con...
If you’ve driven to a Blackhawks game over the past couple seasons, you’ve undoubtedly noticed the construction off Damen. If you’ve been to a Hawks practice at Fifth Third Arena, you’ve driven past the ongoing project.
On Tuesday morning, the Blackhawks announced some significant updates to their practice facility.
The Blackhawks announced the rebranding of Fifth Third Arena to Blackhawks Ice Center, effective in late January 2026, when the new space opens to the public.

Nazem Kadri’s play-driving, edge, and center depth would fit exactly what the Minnesota Wild need. His current production and faceoff workload in Calgary also underline that he can still handle tough minutes down the middle. Danila Yurov has shored up some of the issues down the middle, but his play...
Michigan State defensive back Elisha West has committed to transferring to Minnesota. He did not see the field this season after transferring from Merrimack College. His brother, Aydan, also committed on Tuesday. West has three years of eligibility remaining. If he contributes this fall, it could be at cornerback, nickel, or safety.
