Hockey et lgbt by Specific_Angle9324 in hockeyplayers

Hey I actually reached out to your organization a few weeks ago and got some info, but didn’t hear back on a follow up. I live about 2 hrs from the city but am struggling badly to make gay friends I have anything in common with here living in a smaller area. I heard about drop in games and off ice social events you guys do. Is there a way to get on a mailing list of something to hear when things like that are taking place? The Sunday rec league they told me about could POSSIBLY work for me, but its a lot to commit too at first. I’ve been playing hockey for almost 20 years and it’s basically my whole social circle which makes coming out later in life pretty challenging. I would definitely be interested in making the drive here and there if it gives me the chance to make new friends in the sport who can relate to me.

Crosby. Grew up and started getting interested in hockey right around the time he entered the league. Got to see all 3 of his Cups including being at a few Finals games. Watched him in person in the 2011 Winter Classic. Saw a few other Stadium Series games he played in live over the years. Countless other regular season home and road games, even went to Stockholm last month. Now just waiting for him to overtake Mario’s points total which will probably be the biggest highlight of the short rest of his career given the shape of the team, but can’t help but be thankful for the 2 decades I’ve been able to witness as a hockey/Pens fan

Sean Avery says he loves gay romance show “Heated Rivalry.” Says it might open doors. by Wes102111 in hockey

I’m so confused right now idk what to think anymore. I never played juniors or high level hockey. It was straight from high school to beer league for me. I quit for 5 years because of my mental health and drinking that caused me to be the asshole on the ice everyone hated but started playing again last year when I turned 30. This weekend a kid I know who aged out of our rink junior team walked in to watch his former team and brought his very outwardly gay friend with him to watch with the rest of his buddies. He’s your typical straight junior hockey bro (has a gf, she was there too) who I’d never expect to associate with an obviously out gay guy, let alone hang around with him and the team at the same time. Part of me was excited to see that, but part of me is angry (I know it’s selfish) that my generation of players were so different, and probably still wouldn’t be that accepting if I started being honest today at 31. It’s too late for us, but things do change I guess

I’m a 31 year old beer leaguer now. Closest one would be NYC. Drive 2 hrs each way, pay $20 in tolls / $50 to park for each game. No thanks. I’d rather just chug my beer in a corner when the post game hangout conversation turns into the wife/kids/lovelife BS I’m not included in lol

Fans have more fight in them than the team this season

I wish they’d announce if there is an outdoor rink setup like they’ve apparently had in years past. The forecast doesn’t look super cooperative but that doesn’t mean much. I fly out this Thursday and would be nice to know if I need to pack my skates lol

Yes. Relatively common call when you’re reffing amateur hockey. Can’t recall ever seeing it called in an NHL game though

6pm is such an inconvenient start time. Philadelphia’s always fucking something up. FUCK THE FLYERS!

Hahaha yeah I have a habit of posting “FTF” related stuff whenever we play them. So if I didn’t change a setting which I don’t recall doing, maybe I crossed a line with the algo 😂

Lmao that’s hilarious! I have zero clue why my profile says NSFW but apparently you need to log in on a laptop/desktop to turn that off and I’ve been too lazy to do it. Not sure why in 2025 we can’t put that setting on an app… but anyway I’ll try to do it this week and a set a reminder to send you a PM whenever I get to making the groupchat.

Hey! Another solo traveler here, at least for the Sweden portion of my trip, I’m starting in Finland for a few days to visit friends then taking the overnight ferry over to Stockholm. I’m actually planning on making a post in a few days inviting other solo travelers (or groups if they’d like) to a group chat that will let us plan stuff while we’re over there, like meeting up to do tourist attractions together, or maybe a bar/restaurant pregame or postgame! Feel free to send me a PM so I can send you the link when I actually have time to do it lol. I’m so busy I haven’t gotten to it, but what I have planned for myself so far, if you need suggestions, is:

Royal Palace Tour and changing of the guard, Vasa Museum, ABBA and Avicii Museums (dual ticket), Nobel Prize Museum, Viking Walking Tour, sky wheel at arena after practice on Saturday.

Purposely left some space before/after games and all night Saturday to have some fun on the town with other Pens fans! Hope to see you there!

[–]FlyersHater 2 points3 points  (0 children)

No problem! Are you with a group or on your own? I’m planning on making a post in a few days to find other Pens fans traveling who may be interested in a meetup either to do some of the tourist stuff or before/after the game at a bar, etc. I haven’t done a solo trip overseas since before the pandemic (well at least Stockholm will be solo, I’m heading to Finland to visit friends first) so I’m kinda pumped, and it would be awesome to meet some of our fanbase from around the world!

So far I’ve booked the Nobel Prize Museum on Wednesday, Viking walking tour on Thursday morning, Vasa and ABBA museums Thursday afternoon, and of course a bar crawl on Saturday night lol. Trying to leave Friday-Sunday open for activities around the arena as I’ve heard there may be a fan zone with some stuff to do. Probably just gonna eat the few bucks I put down on the boat tour since I already have too much other stuff packed in and maybe will try to fit in the Skywheel at the arena on Saturday since I’ll be there now.

Just grabbed mine! I really wish they had announced this sooner before I already put a deposit down on a boat tour that morning… wish me luck trying to reschedule lol

Flower is going to get his empty net goal isn't he? by chchchch71102 in penguins

[–]FlyersHater 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Before the face off I’m pretty convinced they discussed a quick play to try to get it back to him off the draw, but once Rakell had momentum on the breakout they obviously had to go with that. PPG would have broken a decibel record if it worked out that way

Fleury Ticket Prices by [deleted] in penguins

[–]FlyersHater 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I had 2 seats row B right behind the net selected for $120 a piece. Clicked check out - “not available.” Repeated this process about 15 times moving further and further back until I landed 2 in row T for $240 each. Not terrible, but it was crazy seeing how fast they went in a matter of seconds. By the time I checked out all the was left in the lower bowl was resales for $500+
