Seattle Kraken trainer Justin Rogers comes out publicly and the crowd (& the team!) goes wild
penned an open letter to his younger self that was published Friday on the Kraken’s website. It opens as follows:Dear younger JR,Becoming the best you will take time and understanding.That knot in your stomach – the one that makes you feel confused, isolated, lost in the world –invisible to everyone but you? It will slowly loosen. You don’t even understand the knot, but with time you will learn things about yourself and fulfill dreams so many others like you feel they cannot.In a corresponding interview with ESPN, Rogers said he knew for years he was gay, but it took him a long time to grasp what that meant.
