Officials at Honoré-Mercier Elementary School decided to cancel the game day alternative to school uniforms after a parent complained that an 11-year-old Boston fan was told to remove her Bobby Orr shirt on a previous Habs jersey day.

“She’s been a Boston Bruins fan all her life, so she kinda felt really bad. She felt kind of excluded from the school,” Pasquale told CBC News.

The girl’s father, Tony Pasquale, didn't make the complaint himself, but he agrees that telling his daughter that she couldn't wear her Bruins jersey was not the right approach.

Board spokesman Mike Cohen said the school did the right thing by cancelling its jersey day.

“We don't think it's prudent for a student to wear a Boston Bruins jersey in a school during this very intensive playoff play,” Cohen said
