PHOTO: Brian Burke, Sean Monahan, Mark Giordano at Toronto Pride Parade
Its an annual tradition: former Toronto Maple Leafs general manager and current Calgary Flames president Brian Burke always comes to Toronto to march in the pride parade.
Burke fulfilled his annual commitment in a cowboy hat on Sunday, and he brought a whole host of NHLers, professional athletes, and Olympians along with him. Here's a group photo featuring Burke, his son Patrick (who works with the NHL's Department of Player Safety), Flames center Sean Monahan, Flames defender Mark Giordano, and Toronto Maple Leafs depth forward Troy Bodie:

Boasts Patrick:
World Pride with over a dozen pro athletes, over 20 Olympians. Remember when you thought sports was really homophobic? #YouCanPlay
