A list of what I loved about the Bayne Pettinger article in the Athletic: 

The deep dive in Pettinger’s though process and his fear of losing his friends and family

McDavid being happy for him and that he doesn’t view him any differently; all that matters to him is that Bayne is HAPPY

Sidney Crosby acknowledging the weight Bayne must have been carrying around for years hiding his sexual orientation 

How he felt seen having hockey’s two superstars accept him and make him feel braver about coming out

TYSON BARRIE JUST TALKING ABOUT HOW HOCKEY IS READY FOR LGBTQ PLAYERS IN CASUAL CONVERSATION NOT KNOWING HIS CLOSE FRIEND RIGHT NEXT TO HIM IS GAY

THE FACT THAT BAYNE CONFESSES TO HIM BECAUSE HEARING THIS MADE HIM FEEL SAFE ENOUGH TO COME OUT

TYSON CELEBRATING BY CRACKING OPEN A BOTTLE OF WINE

(obviously this is when I started to bawl my eyes out)

Mrs. Emma-soon-to-be-Barrie being one of his greatest supporters 

Morgan Rielly focusing on how brave Bayne is and how much he admires him

Bob Nicholson being a great “uncle”

his family supporting him when he came out to them 10 years ago and them sticking by his side, not pressuring him to come out, but promising they’d always be there for him

Matt Pettinger, a former NHL forward, saying he’s just “known as ‘Bayne’s brother’ now

Pettinger feeling relieved that he doesn’t have to consciously always think “Who knows and who doesn’t? and just getting to live his best life

His conversation with Brian Burke and the acknowledgment of Brendan’s legacy and how he looked up to him

Why did Brendan have to die damn it???

Brian Burke talked to him for 2 hours and reinforcing the idea that “hockey is ready for this” and just how much he loves his son and misses him

My heartbreak at reading Matt Pettinger admit he had a gay teammate but they never felt safe coming out but his hope that his brother can inspire change 

CAA’s J.P. Barry and Pat Brisson saying if recruits have a problem with gay agents then they wouldn’t represent them

ALL THE SUPPORT AND LOVE

“He [Bayne] wants to be another person’s Brendan Burke” 

Thank you Bayne for sharing your story with us. Hockey is for everyone.
