And they tried to make the action “neutral” by banning any form of tape other than white or black. So, all those charity causes that the tape was used for in the past, all gone. No charity donations for you.
All because the NHL decided it didn’t want to allow players to voluntarily use rainbow tape, which was itself the NHL trying to cover the wagons because a small amount of players were getting public criticism for openly airing their homophobic views.
It’s only for players on ice. Players are free to do what they off the ice and the tape will still be for sale.
It’s a stupid decision, but it’s only on ice to remove that platform from the players. They are free to vent off ice, but now those nights are for those nights.

Well they are called “covered wagons” because they had a kind of tarp stretched across the top, so I see where your mind was at

It’s a shitty move for a league that preaches HOCKEY IS FOR EVERYONE
