True North Sports + Entertainment and the Winnipeg Jets will once again be honouring the LGBTQSIA+ community with the annual Pride Night celebration from Canada Life Centre on Wednesday, April 5 for the critical 6:30 PM central time matchup with the Pacific Division's Calgary Flames.
A long-standing tradition within the club, the annual Pride Night celebration will feature custom warmup jerseys to be worn by players prior to puck drop as well as rainbow coloured stick tape to be used on players' sticks as they see fit.
"The Jets’ Pride Night aims to show that all are welcome in hockey and any teammate, coach, or fan who brings passion to the rink should be supported and respected, regardless of their gender identity or expression or sexual orientation."

Much like last season's performance from LGBTQSIA+ advocate SoulBear, the Rainbow Harmony Project - Winnipeg’s choir for the 2SLGBTQ+ community and their allies - will be performing the Canadian national anthem, while the warmup worn and used jerseys and sticks will be auctioned off at Auctions,NHL.com from June 1-11, with all proceeds going towards the You Can Play fund and Rainbow Resource Centre - a Winnipeg-based organization preaching the importance of inclusivity and inclusive spaces for the LCBTQSIA+ community.
Fans at the game will be given the opportunity to learn about the Rainbow Resource Centre, the You Can Play Project, Pride Winnipeg and The Other Skaters at booths setup throughout the foyer. More information on those four supporting organizations can be found at RainbowResourceCentre.org, YouCanPlayProject.org, PrideWinnipeg.com, and by searching @theotherskaters on Instagram.
Pride Night apparel will be available to purchase at Jets Gear on game day, or can be bought in advance of Wednesday's festivities via TrueNorthShop.com.
