The Boston Bruins lit up TD Garden and The Hub on Causeway in rainbow colors at the annual Hockey Is for Everyone Night, presented by TD Bank, when the Bruins beat the Columbus Blue Jackets 3-1. Hockey is for Everyone is an NHL initiative that uses the game of hockey and the National Hockey League’s global influence to drive positive social change and foster more inclusive communities regardless of race, color, religion, national origin, gender, disability, sexual orientation and socio-economic status. During the starting lineup announcement, the Bruins welcomed an honorary Hockey Is for Everyone lineup to the ice featuring six hockey players representing the LGBTQIA+, sled hockey, deaf, blind, special hockey and women’s hockey communities. Plus, Boston Bruins Foundation hosted an online auction for team-issued and autographed, rainbow-taped sticks. Proceeds went to Boston Pride Hockey, New England’s first LGBTQIA+ hockey organization.
