Bostoniin kevät tuo jääkiekkoa, prideä ja vihdoin myös hyvää säätä!

Boston College - Boston University - Charity Events - George Washington - Hockey - Pride Parade

Valmistaudu Bostoniin: jääkiekon tähdet loistavat, pride-paraatin päivämäärä julkistettiin ja kevät tuo mukanaan myös lämpöä!

Bostoniin on tulossa jännittäviä tapahtumia, koska kaupungin urheilumatka jatkuu jääkiekon ja lacrossen parissa. Bostonin yliopiston miesten lacrossejoukkueen ottelu Brownia vastaan on siirretty ajoissa, sillä kylmät sääolosuhteet uhkaavat pelipäivää. Treenaaminen on tärkeä osa joukkueen yhdistelemiseen, ja joukkueet toivovat faneiltaan tukea, vaikka pelit saattavatkin olla haasteellisia sään vuoksi.

Jääkiekossa sen sijaan Bostonin yliopiston ensimmäisen vuoden pelaaja Mikhail Yegorov on saanut tunnustusta ollessaan Hockey Eastin viikon tulokas. Nuori lahjakkuus on herättänyt huomiota kentällä ja hänen pelinsä lupaavat jännittäviä hetkiä faneille tulevissa otteluissa. Yegorov on loistava esimerkki siitä, miten Bostoniin tulvii nuoria kykyjä, jotka tekevät vaikutuksen niin yleisöön kuin valmentajiinkin.

Kun puhutaan Bostonista, on myös aika valmistautua Pride-paraatin riemujuhlaan! Boston Pride for the People -järjestö ilmoitti viimeisessä tiedotustilaisuudessaan, että vuoden 2025 Pride-paraatin päivämäärä on 14. kesäkuuta. Paraati tuo yhteen ihmisiä ympäri Bostonia juhlistamaan rakkauden ja yhteisön voimaa. Kaupungin pormestari Michelle Wu on todennut, että Boston on aina ollut rakkauden ja sisällyttämisen majakka, ja tulevat juhlat kaipaavat kanssasi elämän iloa ja väriä.

Mukana on myös historian kaikuja. New Yorkin ja Bostonin väliset kilpailut urheilumaailmassa ovat juurtuneet monimutkaisen kulttuurihistorian kouriin, joka sisältää yhteisöjen kunnian ja ennakkoluulojen välillä tasapainottelua. Onko Bostonilla kuitenkin ansaitsematonta huonoa mainetta rodullisten kysymysten näkökulmasta? Uuden kirjan myötä tutkitaan, kuinka kaupungin urheiluperinteeseen vaikuttavat kilpailuhenkisyys ja ikävät stereotypiat. Tiedämme, että urheilu yhdistää, mutta sen historiassa on myös vastoinkäymisiä.

Faktoja kääntäen, tiedätkö, että George Washingtonin henkilökohtainen kirjasto sijaitsee Bostonin Athenaeumissa? Yhteensä noin 230 kirjaa, jotka aikanaan kuuluivat presidentille, kertovat tarinoita Lohikäärmeen vuosisadalta. Ja unohtamatta Bostonin Pridea: se on New Englandin suurin pride-juhla ja se on järjestetty vuodesta 1970!
