NHL Moves to ‘Keep the Focus on the Game’ – Players Will No Longer Wear Pride Jerseys During Warm-Ups

The National Hockey League Commissioner Gary Bettman told Sportsnet that NHL players will no longer wear themed warmup jerseys next season, including Pride paraphernalia.

The NHL came under fire this season as players, like Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov,  boycotted  “Pride Night.”

In January, NHL player Ivan Provorov refused to wear his team’s Pride jersey

He got smeared and attacked, but he did not back down

5 months later… the NHL is officially banning LGBTQ Pride jerseys
