Wild, Islanders team up to bring awareness to You Can Play Project

The Minnesota Wild and New York Islanders have teamed up for a great cause.

The clubs announced they'll work with the You Can Play Project, hosting a home-and-home, of sorts, aimed to bring awareness to ensuring equality, respect, and safety for athletes regardless of sexual orientation and gender identity.

New York will host the first You Can Play night at the Barclays Center on Feb. 2, while the Wild will host one at a later date.

Five dollars from each ticket sold will be donated to the project.
