Correct, but Burning Beard is also correct, because as Brian Burke said when he was here (probably not 100% correct word for word) "We can't force you to wear them, but we can decide to not play you."
If I'm not mistaken, I think the Flames were one of, if not the only NHL team that had 100% of their players wearing them. At least for a good while.
Wonder when that changed, as I thought that message had continued under Treliving.
