NHL players will be allowed to use Pride tape this season after all. The league, players union and a committee on inclusion agreed to give players the option to represent social causes with stick tape during warmups, practices and games.
NHL rescinds ban on rainbow-colored Pride tape, allowing players to use it on the ice this season
I was as shocked as everyone else when the ban originally happened, but this felt inevitable.
This rule was never going to be enforceable, and would only create more bad media for the league. Very glad they went ahead and walked it back quickly, hockey is for everyone and players should be able to represent that however they want!
Hockey HAS to be for everyone. Any sport where you can (safely) beat the shit out of each other for a few hours and then end it with a ‘good game’ handshake is what it’s all about.

Too busy beating their wives to beat other plays on the ice
