I don’t know why people can’t seem to understand this. A policy where players can promote whatever political causes they like on their equipment would set the league up for a ####storm of controversy. What happens when a player wants to put an NRA sticker on their helmet? Or a pro-life slogan? And the NHL understandably doesn’t want to take on the role of vetting every possible cause under the sun and taking positions on them.
