Coyotes defenseman Travis Dermott defies NHL’s Pride Tape ban


So proud of Dermott for doing this and can only hope it starts a groundswell of players standing up for what is decent.

  1. If a little bit of colourful tape gets your jammies in a twist, change your jammies.

    Good on him.

  2. Iโ€™m not a fan of any of the themed nights and was personally happy when they did away with all the jerseys. Iโ€™m actually still fine with theme nights in general but was cool with players not being involved. However banning the tape was the dumbest thing of all time. NHL would be really really dumb to fine.

  3. All the media wants attention for themselves so much that they wonโ€™t just let this slip under the radar like they should.

    Is coloured tape more of an issue than how much the media focuses on these things?

    If you were a gay NHL player why would you want to come out with all this attention and pressure?

    The real inclusivity should be to shut up about it and change the locker room culture.

    Coloured tape isnโ€™t fixing that.
