Celebrate Pride

The New York Rangers are proud to celebrate and support the LGBTQ+ community during Pride Month. Let's take a closer look at some of the initiatives and programs we're running throughout the month.
On the heels of our Pride Night presented by Delta Air Lines, the Rangers made a $25,000 donation to Covenant House New York in partnership with the New York Knicks and Delta Air Lines. Covenant House New York is a non-profit organization that was founded in 1972, whose main goal is to address youth homelessness by providing resources for mental health issues, education, employment, and life-skills training. Thirty percent of Covenant House's New York residents identify as LGBTQ+, so this donation will go to Pride related activities, including a Pride Prom for the youth. Amethyst Dawson, the LGBTQ+ Program Specialist of Covenant House noted, "This year for the first time ever," she said, "Covenant House will hold a Pride Prom for the youth, allowing them to celebrate Pride in a big way!"

The Rangers also invite fans to check out the Pride Month auctions being hosted by our friends at You Can Play and the New York City Gay Hockey Association:
The Rangers are also partnering with MSG Networks to produce a Pride Special presented by Delta Air Lines. The 30-minute program will raise awareness around the importance of diversity, equity and inclusion in sports. The special features Rangers Forward Mika Zibanejad and Knicks Forward Reggie Bullock.
