Players of the National Hockey League (NHL) “Minnesota Wild” club refused to go to the warm-up in rainbow uniforms to support LGBT.
This was reported on a social network by journalist Michael Russo.
The action in support of LGBT is organized annually by “Minnesota”. In 2023, hockey players were required to wear a rainbow jersey before the regular season game with Calgary. Then it had to be sold at a charity auction.
At the same time, several players still wrapped the sticks with rainbow tape, and also used rainbow-colored discs.
We will remind you that earlier the Russian defender of the “Philadelphia Flyers” Ivan Provorov refused to wear a uniform with LGBT symbols before the NHL regular season game. As a result, after a missed roll-out, the Russian hockey player participated in the match against Anaheim. His team won a landslide with a score of 5:2.
Then the entire New York Rangers team took out the jerseys to support the LGBT community. It is worth noting that in 2021 the club’s New York players hit the ice with rainbow ammunition, including striker Artemy Panarin.
