Oct 11, 2023 at 11:31 AM ETLongtime NHL executive Brian Burke says the league's decision to ban on-ice support for community causes, which includes the use of rainbow-coloured stick tape on Pride nights, is a"surprising and serious setback."
The updated guidance reaffirms on-ice player uniforms and gear for warmups and official team practices cannot be altered to reflect theme nights. The 68-year-old says it strips teams and players of a powerful way to support causes they care about to protect the small minority of players"who do not want to answer any questions about their choices."
