Braden Holtby is walking the walk.
For the second year in a row, the Washington Capitals goalie showed his support for the LGBTQ community by participating in the Capital Pride Parade along with his wife Brandy.

Back in February, Holtby was named the Capitals' You Can Play club ambassador, thereby taking on the role of leader in the locker room and in the community on diversity, equality, and inclusion, as well as agreeing to lead the way in the fight against homophobia in sports.
