Lots of players who are vocally supportive, including Tkachuk, Quinn Hughes, Brad Marchand, Morgan Reilly and Mitch Marner... there are plenty. Hughes is the only one I can remember making a specific statement after the controversies started picking up steam after Provorov and Staal last year:

It's about just, you know, feeling welcomed and enjoying the game. If someone enjoys the game ... you should be able to find the same joy from it as anyone else. We preach hockey is for everyone and I certainly believe that it is. And if you say you believe in that, then you should be able to put the jersey on.
