I've been collecting hockey jerseys (game worn and replica) since I became a Calgary Hitmen season ticket holder back around 2000. In 2017, the Calgary Pioneers, Calgary's first inclusive hockey team started playing, something I never thought I'd see. I've been a big fan of the Pioneers since they started.

In 2018, I started collecting Pride jerseys. Collecting Pride jerseys is bit more challenging than the typical jersey collecting. Pride games are usually a once-a-season event, and most of the time, the special Pride jerseys are often auctioned off or given as "jersey-off-their-back" prizes. So unless you know about the Pride games in advance, and you know where to bid for the jerseys, they're easy to miss. And I've missed a lot of them. Recently, some leagues like the EIHL have started to produce Pride jerseys for purchase as part of their regular merchandizing.

Hopefully, we'll get to a point where we won't need Pride Games, and inclusivity and respect for all will be normal at hockey games for players, fans, officials, and everyone. But as of 2021, we still need Pride events to raise awareness and fight for equal rights for all.

The Glitter Goalie

Since the Calgary Pioneers started playing in 2017, they've marched in the Calgary Pride Parade every year as part of the CIHA, with the You Can Play organization, and alongside the Calgary Flames Sports & Entertainment group which includes players from the Flames, Hitmen, Roughnecks, and Stampeders.  

I've enjoyed marching with them each year as their unofficial "mascot" - The Glitter Goalie.
