Canes to host ‘You Can Play’ Night
The Carolina Hurricanes will hold “You Can Play” Night on Friday as the team hosts the Ottawa Senators. All 30 NHL teams are participating in the league-wide initiative as part of the NHL’s Hockey is for Everyone program.
The Hurricanes have invited several local LGBTQ organizations to set up on the concourse to promote their programs and missions. A number of Hurricanes players will use pride tape on their sticks during warmups, and those sticks will be auctioned online through the NHL Auctions platform with proceeds benefiting You Can Play.
In addition, all proceeds from the Kids ‘N Community Foundation’s in-game silent auction at Section 129 will benefit You Can Play.
