The face of the NHL is speaking out in regards to how his club feels about Pride Night celebrations around the league, which have become a contentious topic over the last few months.
The Edmonton Oilers will celebrate the LGBTQIA+ community during Saturday's Pride Night game against the Vegas Golden Knights, and team captain Connor McDavid made it clear Friday that the organization fully supports the initiative.
McDavid told reporters:
"Certainly can't comment on other players and their beliefs and other organizations and what they're up to. I know here in Edmonton we strongly believe hockey is for everyone and strongly support Pride Night.
