The league’s former executive vice president ripped the NHL’s decision to eliminate the tape in Pride Night events.
Former NHL executive Brian Burke ripped the league’s choice to prohibit players from applying rainbow-colored tape to their sticks in support of the LGBTQ+ community this season.
The memo also states that players’ uniforms as well as gear for games, warmups and official team practices cannot be changed for Pride Nights or theme-related events that include military appreciation celebrations and Hockey Fights Cancer. However, players are permitted to volunteer in those celebrations away from the ice.
Although the league has the measure in place, Flyers center Scott Laughton said he still plans to display pride tape for those celebrations.Bruins left winger Brad Marchand carried a similar sentiment, telling reporters that he should not be limited in his freedom to be his authentic self.
