The NHL issued a sweeping ban against on-ice theme-night gear, barring clubs from having players wear rainbow sweaters or using multicolored tape on sticks during Pride Night, for example, officials confirmed Tuesday.
“When you start to take away what is our most visible representations, what carries the most weight in messaging, is those heroes that you see on the ice standing up for they believe and what they believe is right,” Weaver said. “And removing those from the ice is a tough one.” Weaver praised yearslong efforts by the NHL, teams and players to fight homophobia but admitted that last week's league memo was a bitter pill to swallow.
