ECHL's Kalamazoo Wings paint the ice rainbow for Pride Night
Not gonna lie... I'm curious to see how this plays out. Seems like it would be tough to see the puck?

The ECHL'S Kalamazoo Wings have announced that they'll be painting their entire ice surface rainbow colors for their upcoming Pride Night on Friday night when they take on the Toledo Walleye.

More from the long-time minor league franchise:
On Friday, Jan. 13 the K-Wings celebrate ‘Rainbow Ice / Pride Night’ versus the Toledo Walleye at 7:00 p.m. at Wings Event Center, presented by Bronson. Kalamazoo is proud to honor the LGBTQ+ community in support of the belief that everyone deserves equal opportunities regardless of race, gender, sexual orientation, age, disability or background. It’s also a $3 Friday, presented by Bud Light, so enjoy $3 beers, sodas and hot dogs from 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. while enjoying Kalamazoo’s only professional sports team. The specialty jerseys worn on this night will also be donned on ‘Hockey is for Her & Hockey is for Everyone Night’ on February 4 and will be auctioned off immediately following that game.
I'm all for inclusion and growing the sport in non-traditional ways but... I think changing the literal playing surface might be taking things a step too far?
Thoughts?
