“There is still a ways to go in having everyone feel important and included, but these are all steps in the right direction.”
Pride nights elsewhere in the NHL haven’t passed without controversy. When Philadelphia Flyers players chose to wear Pride-themed jerseys during the warm-up before a game on Jan. 17, defenceman Ivan Provorov was not on the ice. He did, however, play in the game, creating a public-relations nightmare for the Flyers.Article content
Provorov later defended his decision, saying the move was about “staying true to myself and my religion,” which is Russian Orthodox.Smith, who wore a Pride-themed Senators baseball cap Saturday morning, says the NHL still needs to do more to promote inclusivity. “Even from my first year in the league to where we are now, there have been great improvements. And, again, I say there’s more to come. Everyone should feel like they are allowed to be themselves regardless of race, religion, sexuality. We’re in 2023. I think we’ve taken great steps … my kids and the next generation coming, there’s more to be done. Nights like tonight help us even more.”“It says that hockey is for everyone,” said Stutzle, also sporting a Senators Pride baseball cap.
