5-10% of people are homosexual. If you don't know anyone that is, that is likely because people you know that are don't want to tell you. Maybe that's because they don't feel safe doing so.
Stuff like this game helps them feel safe sharing who they are and feeling like they belong anywhere. It requires very little imagination and empathy to put yourselves in their shoes to imagine how much stress it would be to hide that part of yourself, and how macho straight culture could scare people off from enjoying something the rest of us take for granted, like hockey.
If that doesn't work, just think of it as doing something nice for your neighbour.
