Ivan Provorov Explains His Decision Not to Wear a Pride Jersey in Warmups
Ivan Provorov skipped warmups on Tuesday night's Pride Night for the Philadelphia Flyers, and the criticism has been severe.
Provorov explained his reasoning for opting out, citing his personal religious beliefs:
Provorov's teammate Scott Laughton had the following to say on the subject:
"I know Provy spoke. I know Torts did. Me and JVR just got back from a room with about 50 people from the community. It was a great night. Amazing initiative and something that's been close to me for a long time. I know Reemer, too. So I'm gonna leave it at that. I think we've had those conversations, and I think they're ongoing. And you know what, I think it's come a long way. ... those conversations will still happen and everything along with that."
