Pride Tape

www.pridetape.com

Pride Tape is a badge of support from teammates, coaches, parents and pros to young LGBTQ+ players. It shows every player that they belong playing the sports they love. That we’re all on the same team. Your support for Pride Tape allows us to donate tape to community groups and amateur teams and leagues. Proceeds from the sale of Pride Tape also helps to support LGBTQ+ youth outreach and educational initiatives. That means every roll of tape will make an impact in sports and beyond. We proudly support the National Hockey League (NHL), the Premier Lacrosse League, NCAA PAC-12 Softball, BaseballSoftballUK, and Major and Minor League Baseball’s mission to drive positive social change and foster more inclusive communities. By participating in the NHL’s ‘Hockey is for Everyone’ month, plus creating baseball’s Strike Out Hate campaign, our collective goal is to make sport, at all levels, a more welcoming and inclusive environment for players, their families and fans of every race, colour, age, ability, religion, national origin, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, and socio-economic status.

HOCKEY HOW

www.hockeyhow.com

The reason I decided to create hockeyhow.com is to share my knowledge and passion for hockey with the world. If I can answer even one person’s question or teach them something new about this wonderful game, I have done my job.

Another reason I created the site is to help people get into the sport of hockey. It can be an intimidating sport to get into, as there are plenty of rules to understand and pieces of gear to buy. My aim is to help provide a one-stop-shop for all of your hockey-related needs.

I am to be a resource you can trust not only for honesty, but also for high-quality content that is entertaining, informative, and educational.

Radagast Creative

www.radagastcreative.com/

Once upon a time, we met in film school in Western NY. Chels was the documentary buff, and Kyle was the hip, mysterious fiction kid. Though we didn’t end up together til many years later, the universe aligned right when it was meant to. After years of hustling in the freelance and corporate worlds, the Radagast seeds were planted, stemming simply from the desire to dive into this work more fully together. Our relationship is based on a firm sense of knowing and we channel this into our work.

We believe the mountains are the best place to play. Sharing a fierce love for travel, film, and food, we are always looking for the fullest experience in everything we do. We balance each other’s quirks, read the other’s mind (mostly), we annoy each other, and then push each other to be better. And we are one helluva team.
