Two of the NHL’s biggest stars expressed their disappointment over the league’s decision to do away with specially themed warmup jerseys next season.
Both Connor McDavid of the Edmonton Oilers and Steven Stamkos of the Tampa Bay Lightning spoke out against the decision, which came after a handful of players opted against wearing Pride-themed jerseys and several teams that scrapped plans entirely to wear them on planned LBGTQ+ nights last season.
NHL clubs will continue to have Pride nights, military appreciation nights among others without the special jerseys. But the issue that bothered Bettman and the NHL Board of Governors was the attention that was drawn to the players that had opted out of wearing the Pride jerseys.
