In support of the National Hockey League's "Hockey Is For Everyone" initiative, the Pittsburgh Penguins will celebrate inclusion and diversity in the sport by hosting "Hockey Is For Everyone Night" on Monday, March 5, when the Pens take on the Calgary Flames at PPG Paints Arena (7 p.m.).

A number of Penguins players will use rainbow-colored Pride tape on their sticks during the pre-game warmup, and the sticks will be auctioned by the Pittsburgh Penguins Foundation. Proceeds will benefit "You Can Play," an advocacy organization that promotes safety and inclusion for all who participate in sports, including LGBTQ athletes, coaches and fans.

There will be 10 special "Junior Starters" for the game, including representatives of Mighty Penguins Sled Hockey, Pittsburgh I.C.E., Penguins Blind Hockey, Steel City Icebergs Special Hockey, Pittsburgh Emperors Special Hockey, Beaver County Ice Sharks Special Hockey, Happy Valley Special Hockey Association, Johnstown Sitting Bulls Sled Hockey and the Little Penguins Learn to Play program.

Members of the Penguins Ice Crew will wrap their shovels with Pride tape, and the national anthem will be sung by Rain Greene, a West Allegheny High School freshman and a member of the Delta Foundation.
