Braden Holtby is used to rocking the red, but the Washington Capitals goaltender can also rock the rainbow.
Holtby and his wife, Brandi, led the team's contingent at the Capital Pride Parade in D.C. on Saturday, marching alongside PA announcer Wes Johnson, the Red Rockers, and other members of the organization.

The Holtbys are supporters of You Can Play, the organization that promotes equality among athletes regardless of sexual orientation or gender identity.
In a statement last week, the netminder said he was honored to represent the Capitals at the event while shining the light on the LGBT community's contributions.
Holtby attended last year's parade, but this was the first time he was an official participant.
