Gay community blog Queerty is reporting that a NHL player will come out this week as the first openly gay athlete in the Big 4 North American professional sports leagues. The rumored player is defenseman Josh Gorges of the Montreal Canadians. The 7-year veteran has racked up 12 goals, 67 assists, and 235 penalty minutes for the Montreal Canadians and San Jose Sharks.

March 11, 201313 yr And this is a terrible response. I didn't take it to mean that he was more likely to be gay because of playing for Montreal. I took at as he is more likely to come out because of playing for Montreal because it would be a more accepting environment.
