Episode Details

Luke Prokop, the first openly gay hockey player to sign an NHL contract, takes center stage in the gripping new documentary “The Hockey Player,” which follows his journey through the sport’s rigid culture and his personal battles — including coming out to his father at 19. Filmed over three years across six cities, the film reveals how Prokop turned his visibility into a force for change, navigating past controversies and building a platform rooted in allyship. More than just a story about identity, it’s a powerful testament to resilience, family, and the quiet revolution happening in professional sports — all while the title deliberately avoids labeling him by his sexuality. Now streaming internationally on Apple TV Plus and iTunes, and on Amazon Prime Video in the U.S., this is a must-watch for anyone who believes in the power of one person to shift the game.
