Well..... another sport I don't support! C'mon NHL you're better than that!

I would prefer a 50 foot statue of Don Cherry. At the Hockey Hall of Fame.

BoycottNHL

One too many blows to the head - they forgot that BLM are a neo-marxist terror organisation, who are using black people, and political correctness as a shield. Two days ago, a so called 'protester' stabbed a black journalist for being a conservative.

No hockey for me. Ice skaters can't take a knee easily maybe I'll watch that.

I doubt this very much!

The venezuela sports leagues are looking for some new players, they should look into that option.

English Premier League, Bundesliga etc. are ahead of us! They already knelt everyday!

Maybe they should all move to Canada.

I think we've got a real movement here - nearly all major sports with fans joining in. Leadership emerges from the most interesting places. In this case of kneelforhockey, and beginning at the NFL where it all started with one person's knee.

exact opposite NHL saturday would be the only pro sport i'll watch. No interest in open border nonsense.

I'm just going to leave this here.
