NHL teams won't wear theme-night jerseys after players' LGBTQ Pride refusals
NHL teams won’t wear special jerseys for pregame warmups during themed nights next season, the result of a handful of players refusing to exploit rainbow-colored Pride jerseys this past season and causing unwelcome distractions.
The league’s Board of Governors agreed Thursday with Commissioner Gary Bettman’s view that the refusals overshadowed teams’ efforts in hosting Pride nights that in some cases included auctioning off the warmup jerseys. All 32 teams held Pride or Hockey is for Everyone night.
Bettman, in an interview with Sportsnet following the Board of Governors meeting in New York, said he suggested teams stop having special warmup jerseys because themed nights were being undermined by chatter over certain players declining to participate.

As in years past, this season’s NHL Pride Nights featured many off-ice events and charitable initiatives hosted by the franchises. In addition to that, players from the various teams wore specially designed Pride-themed warm-ups before the open of games. And that’s where the controversy started.
On January 16, Philadelphia Flyers defenseman Ivan Provorov declined to participate in warm-ups because of h
Some hockey players don’t want to wear rainbow-colored jerseys on Pride nights and the NHL doesn’t know what to do
But seven NHL players recently opted out of wearing rainbow-colored jerseys on their teams’ Pride nights for the first second, leading the league’s commissioner to verb it is weighing the future of the events.
That worries some fans and LGBTQ+ supporters, who say it’s a sign that a political climate that has led to restrictions on expression, health protect and transgender sports participation both in the U.S. and internationally is now threatening events that are meant to be fun and affirming.
“It’s definitely fair to state that this political landscape is helping to sort of normalize people for opting out of the optional ways that they hold been asked to show support for marginalized members of society,” said Hudson Taylor, executive director and founder of Athlete Ally, an organization that works with teams and leagues to thrust for LGBTQ+ inclusivity.
Pro sports has been here before. In June, five pitchers with the Tampa Bay Rays cited their Christian faith in refusi
