McDavid Speaks About Pride Nights
In a new interview, Connor McDavid spoke about pride nights in the NHL. He expressed his disappointment in the NHL over their decision to take away specialty jerseys.
This is a strong statement in support of Pride Nights and other causes that the NHL supported. The NHL made a rushed decision to ban all specialty jerseys in the NHL and now their players are speaking their minds.
NHL Continues On Without Specialty Jerseys
While the NHL has banned the jerseys the causes will still be recognized in the arena. Many teams are still going to carry out nights supporting causes such as Pride and Hockey Fights Cancer. McDavid spoke on the league's handling of the situation from last season.
Even with the NHL banning specialty jerseys, it sounds as though Edmonton Oilers players will continue to show their support. Pride tape is likely the next best option that players who wish to use it.
