screw military appreciation night.
If we can't take the extra step with a warm up jersey to support hockey being inclusive to everyone, we shouldn't have to have a special jersey to celebrate the military.
I hate the decision, but I would hate it more if it was only pride being excluded.
If a player is so homophobic they can't bear the thought of wearing a bit of rainbow for 20 minutes, I'm ok with their beliefs being outed.
