    It's all a ruse. Everyone knows there are no gay NHL players.

      It is only a matter of time before a current, team-sport athlete comes out. Asher appears to be on the scent with Madden; sadly, my time at U-M did not overlap with his, so I have no insight to offer.

        You know, if BK reads this thread, it will reinforce all of his stereotypes about gay men. Except for being in the closet this guy is exactly how he thinks all gay men act.

        ACK!
        Don't try to confuse the issue with half-truths and gorilla dust!

          Many gay men act like that because the choices are limited when you live in a closet.

          If society rejects them, it's hard to live what most would consider a "normal life".

            There's a lot at stake with a pro sports career. Obviously one of the worst situations to be keeping a lifestyle secret.

            It's hard to believe he hasn't been outed, seeing as he goes to gay clubs and everyone there is basically a couple clicks away from a FB post or tweet. Heck, just doing the interview (not to mention, confiding to teammates) makes it pretty clear he either expects or wants to be out.

            My guess is that it's an open secret in some quarters, with the gay clubgoers in the know closing ranks to protect him.

            Asher, if it's not Madden, you're doing him a disservice. You definitely need to go undercover on this and ferret out the truth. Because the truth is "out" there.

              I think his chances of being discovered at an American gay bar are pretty low.

              Hell, most Canadians wouldn't even know what John Madden looks like off-hand.

                Most likely, it's John Grahame.

                    “I don’t know a lot about hockey,” I confessed at the beginning of the interview.

                    “You are American,” he laughed, “and you’re from California. But if you’re from Canada you just can’t escape it,” he tells me during our telephone interview from the lobby of a hotel.
                    American from California, and gay person from Canada [redundant]that plays hockey[/redundant].... pretty clear that this is Asher's thread about himself and Oerdin having a poly "meet"... (In a telephone booth in the hotel lobby )

                      This thread does not conform to the stereotype that there are no gay athletes.
                      A lot of Republicans are not racist, but a lot of racists are Republican.

                          As John Madden's wiki page says:

                          http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Madden_(ice_hockey)

                          Madden is noted for his on-ice ability to kill penalties, play both ways, and score shorthanded goals.
