Luke Prokop "I was tired of lying about everything "

A Gay Old Time

Wednesday, 1 July 2026 - 47 minutes

Nigel's guest today is Luke Prokop. Luke is a professional ice hockey star and the subject of the riveting new documentary The Hockey Player. Luke has always been destined to shine in the hyper masculine and hyper brutal world of ice hockey as it has been his passion since he was a child. But in 2021 Luke became the first player under contract with an NHL team to come out as gay. It was a tough decision but one he knew he had to make for his own sanity. With the spotlight shining brightly on his sport due to the massive success of Heated Rivalry, his story of courage and authenticity has never been more inspirational.This series is a celebration of a beautiful queer community; people of all ages, people who have had to tread their own path to live their real truth, who have fought with their emotions and emerged victorious, who inspire, who aspire and always entertain. Hosted by Nigel May. Every episode Nigel speaks to a person from the LGBTQIA+ rainbow to hear their story; one person, one life, one conversation. And it always guarantees A Gay Old Time!Follow the podcast on TikTok @agayoldtime and on Instagram @agayoldtimepodcast Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
