Portland Winterhawks vs. Tri-City Americans
Friday, January 24 • 7:00 P.M.
BUY TICKETS
The Portland Winterhawks have teamed up with the You Can Play project to host their fifth-annual Pride Night game on Friday, January 24 against the Tri-City Americans! The second night in our “Hawkey For All” series, Pride Night is an opportunity for Winterhawks players, staff, and fans to promote an inclusive environment for LGBTQ+ people in our sport on and off the ice.
The You Can Play Project works to ensure the safety and inclusion for all who participate in sports, including LGBTQ+ athletes, coaches and fans. We achieve this by creating a community of allies that is able to foster a true sense of belonging. This becomes possible when sports teams sharpen the focus on the person’s skills, work ethic, and competitive spirit, not their sexual orientation, gender identity or expression.
You Can Play seeks to challenge the culture of locker rooms and spectator areas by developing a culture of respect, in every player, coach and fan.
Here’s what to expect on game night!
MERCH COLLECTION
The fan-favorite Pride collection is back for 2025 with a few new additions! We partnered with Official League for another exclusive sweatshirt design, plus two unique hats as well as t-shirts, one in partnership with the YouCanPlay project. And as always, game-night pucks are available as well.
IN-GAME ELEMENTS
Before the game, join the Rosebuds for a pre-game parade on the concourse and visit our local LGBTQ+ community groups who are participating in the night. Before puck drop, make sure you’re in your seats for a special anthem performance, batons, and more fun! We will have an on-ice parade in the first intermission and a special performance from Bright-Hearted Circus during the second intermission. Throughout the night, hear from our co-host, Miranda Robinson, about pride-themed in-game elements including mini-games, featuring our local members of the Pride Community!
It’s a great time to celebrate everyone in the Winterhawks family – Happy Pride Night, Portland!
