PLANNING & EVENTS
SPECIAL GUESTS: ANDREW FERENCE & KURTIS GABRIEL
We are thrilled to welcome Kurtis Gabriel (left) and Andrew Ference (right) to Seattle Pride Classic 2022.
Both Kurtis and Andrew are current and former professional ice hockey players, respectively.
Kurtis currently plays for Rockford IceHogs but is under contract with Chicago Blackhawks. Kurtis is well known as being the only player to ever use Pride Tape outside of designated NHL Pride Nights. His advocacy work for the local community earned him the IOA/American Specialty AHL Man of the Year with the Wild and Phantoms. If you follow Kurtis on Instagram, you will notice his advocacy for trans rights, breaking gender norms, speaking out against bullying, among other social impacts.
Andrew has long been a supporter of social change initiatives to help the environment, and he is also a big supporter of promoting equality and inclusion in the sports.
It comes as no surprise then that Ference became involved in a Kickstarter campaign for Pride Tape, a pro-quality hockey stick tape in rainbow colors which aims to show support for LGBTQ+ athletes.
