NHL Implements Ban on Pride Tape, Sparking Controversy

The NHL has banned the use of Pride-themed tape on players' sticks during games this season, as part of new guidance on special initiatives. The league sent memos to teams clarifying restrictions on on-ice activity, stating that players should be encouraged to express themselves off the ice. While players and teams can still celebrate and support specialty causes, uniforms for theme nights will not be worn this season. Last season, some players opted out of wearing Pride warmup jerseys due to religious reasons or safety concerns, particularly Russian players as anti-gay laws escalated.
