Connor McDavid isn't a fan of the NHL's new policy on themed warmup jerseys.
The league decided last week teams won't wear special pre-game threads next season — the result of a handful of players refusing to sport rainbow-coloured Pride jerseys in 2022-23, which in turn caused unwelcome distractions.
"It was 98 per cent or 99 per cent of other players that wore the jersey and enjoyed wearing it and were proud wearing it — whatever jersey it was — whether it was the Pride, the military night, the cancer nights," said Stamkos, who won the Mark Messier Leadership Award. "The story shouldn't be about the guy that didn't wear it — the one guy or the two guys.
Seven players decided not to take part in warmups when their teams sported Pride jerseys before games. A few teams also chose to not have players wear them after planning to do so. Ivan Provorov, a Russian defenceman then with Philadelphia, was the first NHLer to refuse to wear a Pride-themed warmup jersey in January, citing his religion.
