Tuesday night at The KeyBank Center, the Buffalo Sabres hosted You Can Play night. During pregame warmups, Sabres players rocked rainbow-colored pride tape on their sticks and rainbow-colored name plates on their jerseys to show support to the LGBTQ community.

The visiting Sharks were not a planned part of the festivities, but former Capitals forward Joel Ward rocked some pride tape anyways.

What a human.

Before the game, the Sabres donated $10,000 to The Pride Center of Western New York and The Gay and Lesbian Youth Services of Western New York.

Goaltender Anders Nilsson also had a specially-painted mask, which included a rainbow on the back plate.

And here are the specially-made pregame jerseys though the Sabres could have picked a better model.

The Sabres were also selling pride shirts in their arena store.

If you’re interested in purchasing pride tape yourself, the NHL is offering it in their online store.
