The following is a statement from team Owner Harris Turer and President Jon Greenberg on Preds prospect Luke Prokop, who came out publicly today:

“Hockey is family and today we are proud to stand with a fellow Preds family member, prospect Luke Prokop. We admire the courage he has displayed in coming out. We look forward to the day when this is not news, but today is not that day. We applaud Luke for his bravery and if his road to Nashville goes through Milwaukee we are here to support him. Because for Luke and everyone else, if you can play, you can play.”
