Wow, huge respect to Jesse Kortuem for coming out and sharing his story with the hockey world! Even though he never hit the NHL, Jesse was a force on the ice as a defenseman and center. He credits the show Heated Rivalry for giving him the courage to be open about who he is. His message to closeted athletes is powerful—there’s hope and a place for everyone in sports. This could be a real turning point for inclusivity in hockey! #Sports #IceHockey #HeatedRivalry
