The Cardiff Devils play the Belfast Giants this Sunday at Ice Arena Wales and will wear bespoke Pride jerseys to celebrate their new partnership with LGBT Sport Cymru.<\/p>\n

The partnership reiterates the club\u2019s continuous dedication in fighting against LGBT discrimination, and follows on from their participation in last seasons You Can Play<\/a> project.<\/p>\n

Sunday\u2019s game, coined Pride Night<\/a>, also falls on Rainbow Lace week – Stonewall<\/a>\u2019s [LGBT rights charity] campaign to \u201cMake sport everyone\u2019s game.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"\"

Fans, however, will have to wait for the reveal of the new Pride jerseys later this week.<\/p>\n

The jerseys will also be auctioned off at the end of the game on Sunday.<\/p>\n

Devils defenceman Andrew Hotham will take on the role of official ambassador for the partnership between the Devils and LGBT Sport Cymru<\/a>, and will work closely with the organisation to further promote their progressive message.<\/p>\n

Andrew said: \u201cI feel very honoured to be apart of such a tremendous event. Unfortunately the culture in the world is not that of total inclusivity, however [collaborating with] organisations like LGBT Sport Cymru is a great way to make individuals feel welcome in a sporting environment. Sports are for everyone and we as a team welcome any player, staff member, or fan to enjoy ice hockey.\u201d<\/p>\n
