    The stars of the NHL have a moral responsibility to defy this rule and make the NHL take the heat for fining or suspending them. Players like McDavid are what people watch, and penalizing him for multi-colored tape will reflect very poorly on the league.

      I challenge the league to suspend Bedard if he were to come out to the season opening face-off with pride tape.

      I like it at the college level, both men’s and women’s but my Uni has a great team (men’s is one of few teams that has ticketed games.). I have a cousin who used to play with the Canadiens, his dad was in the marines and a lot of his sibliings are first responders, even the girls. He’s married to another man and he coaches a college team in Plattsburgh, NY.
