Brock McGillis Interview Trailer: Hockey Hero Breaking Barriers and Embracing Identity.

If I didn't figure out who I was, my hockey career was going to end. It was already derailing quick. And number two, and more importantly, if I didn't figure out who I was, I was probably going to end up dead. Like, when do you.

Really, really know? Like, I know who I am. I'm just not talking about it with people. Like, when. When do you get clear on that?

I couldn't even say it to a therapist. I was so paranoid that people would find out that I was gay. My family knew, relatives knew, and I thought I was hiding exceptionally well from Hakiwok. Then I got a phone call from a hockey mom. This mom calls me and says, brock, I want to set you up on a date. So I said to her, I said, what's her name? And she said, steve. And she said, brock, you're gay. How do you know this? I was like, it's over. But then I went, wait. All these cocky hockey bros know I'm gay and choose to work with me? How cool is that? I have this saying that normal doesn't exist. We're all a bunch of weirdos, and that's a beautiful thing. And the sooner we embrace our weirdness and things we like, the less likely we are to judge others.
