MR Burke. You continue to inspire me. I met you many times at Westin harbour castle during your prime time sports conference. Brought you the Diet Coke. You met my wife and you where so kind to her. Your sons inspire me to be better.

I appreciate what you & your sons have done for the sport. As an LGBT hockey fan, I've felt welcomed by my team. However, can we really call hockey an "inclusive place for everyone" when 7 years after
@YouCanPlayTeam
was founded we still don't have a single openly gay NHL player?

The courage it takes even now to be in front of a camera and speak of your passed son whom you are so proud of with your other son who you are also so proud of... I have two boys and I just couldn't imagine how hard that must be. Amazing of you! You are obviously a great Father.

Mr Burke, I've had the pleasure of shaking your hand in the past. I don't always agree with your views and opinions on hockey but, the work and message you preach here is absolutely terrific. I couldn't begin to imagine the pain of losing a child but his legacy is alive and well

Mr. Burke, I have been on the other side of this equation. My father came out when I was 16 in 1991. His determination to making life better to those in his community is something I will always be proud of.
I lost him last year but he taught me what it means to be accepting

I love your openness and honesty that you said things you regret and have learned from that. So important. Thank you.
