The Hockey Player Plot and Cast
Growing up in Edmonton within Canada's tough, often homophobic hockey culture and without gay role models in professional sports, Luke Prokop's path to coming out was neither easy nor obvious. The film charts his personal journey against a professional hockey industry ambivalent about diversity, and sensitively reveals the earthquake his public announcement caused within his family, especially his father Al, Luke's mentor and sometime coach, whose relationship with Luke forms the film's most complex and moving thread.
