He’s Just A Hockey Player

from Jeff Z. Klein of Slap Shot,
Puck Buddys, the gay hockey blog that recently celebrated its one-year anniversary as the site “for boys who like boys who like hockey,” has begun a new series of posts that exemplify why it has become an important trailblazer in the game’s cybersphere.
Called “The Thin Blue Line: A High School D-Man’s Story,” the posts chronicle conversations with Zach, a gay player on a top-level high school team in the Upper Midwest. Zach is a pseudonym; he has not come out, although according to the blog “he may choose to be more public” as the season progresses. Over the next few weeks, he’ll talk about what it’s like to be a gay player and what the first N.H.L. player to come out might face.
But what is notable about the first post in the series is how little Zach says about being a gay player; in fact, he says nothing about it, speaking instead about the fun and camaraderie of growing up playing hockey, and the sense of dedication he has developed toward it.
