Blues alternate captain Brayden Schenn addressed the organization’s decision to not wear Pride jerseys as part of their Pride Night celebration on Tuesday against the Flyers.
The Athletic reported Monday that the team had decided to omit the warmup uniforms from the event, though players would still be able to use Pride-themed warmup pucks and rainbow stick tape. Schenn discussed the team’s decision to forgo the warmup jerseys, as well as his own opinion on the matter.
“There’s lots of initiatives around Pride Night at the rink. As players we’ve always supported it in this room. People are going to have different opinions and you respect everyone’s opinion whether it’s on that topic or other topics around the world, you show up to the rink and you play and you support the Pride community ... We support it. I support it. If the jersey is here, I’m wearing the jersey,” said Schenn, via Jeremy Rutherford of The Athletic.
