'Comfortable being who I am': NHL prospect and Calgary Hitmen player comes out

CALGARY --
Luke Prokop says he's no longer scared to hide who he is.
The 19-year-old became the first player under an NHL contract to come out as gay, making the public announcement Monday morning.
"I got to a place where I was... I wanted to be comfortable being who I am and that's going to be in front of my family, in front of my friends, in front of my teammates. Then, ultimately, in front of the world," Prokop told TSN.
"It's been really cool, the process of being able to come out publicly and be who I am," he said.
