News on NHL reversing a ban on players showing Pride support on their hockey sticks with tape
NHL players can now let their Pride flag fly.
On Tuesday, the NHL reversed a ban on using Pride Tape — rainbow-striped hockey tape — and other shows of LGBTQ+ support on the ice. „After consultation with the NHL Players Association and the NHL Player Inclusion Coalition, players will now have the option to voluntarily represent social causes with their stick tape throughout the season,“ said the league in a statement.
The ban had been put in place over the summer, along with outlawing special jerseys.
