"To watch [Scott] say it in front of his peers, in context, and to talk about what the real point of coming out like that is, it is for those kids, it's not for the right now. Right now, you're making it harder for yourself, and anyone who says any different has never fucking done it. You're not making your life easier, what you're hopefully doing is making the world a bit easier for the next person that does it. And that is the whole point of Scott Hunter, you know? That's why he's the amazing character that he is and the amazing leader that he is, because he's willing, eventually, to take it on. And it is something to take on. Like if someone were to do this in hockey for real they would be taking- and I think that's partly why a lot of people don't, because it sounds exhausting. And I get it, because you're not just doing a thing and being like "okay I said this, this is my truth" and then moving on. Luke Prokop has shown that over and over again, right? This kid is such a good hockey player, he's the only out person who has ever been drafted [...] and every time this conversation comes up he has to say something. And he does it, and he does it respectfully and responsibly and he always talks about his team [...] and I'm sure it must be exhausting for him too. It's a lot to be the only person that anyone can go to for a quote about this. It's a lot, but it's important."
