Hey look up Jon Lee-Olsen he’s a Danish hockey player and just came out. 💕

:(:(:(:(:( anon i’m crying

(x) “There’s a risk that some people might shout and heckle me while I’m playing matches,” he said last Thursday. “It’s something I have to be ready for and be mature about. But I feel that I’m ready to show that you can be gay and play ice hockey.”

Olsen, who serves as goaltender for Rungsted Seier Capital, he finally came out to teammates in August after years of pretending to date girls and hiding who he really was. He sent a text telling them that he “had something [he wanted] to get off [his] chest,” adding that he hoped the information wouldn’t “change anything.”

But even as athletes like Olsen blaze trails for inclusion, hockey still has a long way to go. The National Hockey League has never had an out player. While Bruins forward Brad Marchand told ESPN in 2017 that he felt gay athletes would be accepted in the league, a recent study from the University of Alberta found that closeted NHL players remain hesistant to come out because they feel it will negatively impact their careers.

“Though the subjects were split on whether they thought the NHL was homophobic, all of them… agreed that the potential to lose their career outweighed the benefit of revealing something they can live with people not knowing,” researchers claimed.

(x) While the NHL has been doing more in recent years to show support of its fans in the LGBTQ community, there’s never been an out man in the NHL. Still, Danish NHL player Lars Eller of the Washington Capitals has shown full support on Lee-Olsen’s coming out, hoping that his actions will inspire others in their sport to come out too.

“It’s special,” Eller has said. “You might say that about any sport, but ice hockey has a very macho culture, so I think it must not have been an easy decision for him. It’s very brave.”

Ex-OHL player Brock McGillis came out publicly only after retiring, but he has since become an advocate for LGBTQ inclusion in the sport and an ambassador for the #OneTeam initiative.

“Hockey has always been very homophobic because it has always been hyper-masculine, meant for the manliest of men,” McGillis has said.
