Players are now banned from even using Pride tape at practice or in warm-ups. So much for the 'personal choices' that were parroted last year.

I'd say it is worthy of a new thread.

What happens if a player uses the tape? Will they suspend them? Fine them? If it’s just a fine it would be an awesome statement for a guy like McDavid or Matthews to do it anyways and just take the fine

I believe in the Jays.
|
Hopefully this is incorrect and the NHL isn’t actually doing this. If they are though, hopefully players and organizations step up and fight back.
I’ll wait and see how it plays out, but honestly, if the NHL isn’t for everyone then it isn’t for me either.

Sticks can only have black, white or clear tape.
- New rule at the next BOG meeting, probably.

See, this is what I originally thought - surely this is just the NHL issuing a guidance memo with some weird and vague language, and someone is interpreting it as "well if you take that literally then they're banning pride tape", and writing that as the story.
But the tweet above suggests that the author of the article specifically confirmed that this is the case with someone the league itself. So either they're lying, or they spoke to someone at the league who was lying or wrong, or the league is in fact trying to do this.

Are you being serious or sarcastic? Because if thats serious these guys need a hobby.
Honestly...I think I'm with most people...this is sheer cowardice. They dont have the balls to do it officially so now they're going to prohibit players from expressing their own views?
Thats bulls###.
If guys want to use rainbow tape, of their own free will, then let 'em.
Hockey should be for everyone. Sport should be for everyone.
Someone once asked me how I'd feel if we had a Homosexual player on the Flames.
My first reaction was: "So what?"
Followed swiftly with: "Is he any good and whats his Cap hit?"

Dr. Kristopher Wells, who helped conceive Pride Tape (and the main driving force behind it) is confirming it.

What's the fine?
If I was President of the Calgary Flames, I'd be going to ownership and saying "Ok folks, the fine is $X, however it's the right thing to do. I'll personally buy the Pride Tape for opening night, you cover the fine."

Well, I was just kidding...
Though who knows with the league. They banned ALL Special Event warmup jerseys in response to the Pride pushback. With that precedent, maybe its easier if they banned ALL stick tape from here on in.

Worthwhile of a bump, everyone needs to be reminded that Eric Staal and James Riemer are pieces of garbage.

I totally agree. Good luck with it being McDavid though. He has the personality and character of a pile of play dough. Maybe Stanley Cup Champion Jack Eichel or super rookie Bedard.

Do we have heterosexual event dates on the calendar too to celebrate that? Should we be trumpeting that as well and getting a special tape? I’m confused why this community feels the need to trumpet their choice. Live your life, be respectful of others and stop trying to influence others into your choices.

If you're at the point where rainbow stick tape feels like it's influencing your sexuality, you should probably try experimenting just a liiiiiittle bit. Could be nothing. But... you know... that seems like an awfully light "push" in one direction.

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.

That would be pretty awesome if the heterosexual community collectively did that, wouldn't it?
Since they don't, here we are.

Why reply to that low level trolling? Just go ahead and ban away, no one will miss him.
