Absolutely braindead on the part of the league once again. Hope this gains lots of media traction and they're forced to answer even more uncomfortable and embarrassing questions about it.

MODERATORS
I'd like them to explain why it was okay for the Flames to all wear Mike Vernon jerseys during warm-ups a couple of weeks ago.
I read a substantial fine for he and the team
Watch a different league if you want them to change
Edit
Fleury offered to pay whatever fine he'd receive and the NHL threatened to levy the organization with an "additional significant fine."
It’s in the article, just a terrible league
"there's a fine for that"
"I'll pay the fine"
"In that case, I have a bonus paying the fine fine"
Did the NHL outsource fines to Ticketmaster too?
Already on it.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Minnesota Wild goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury was told by the NHL he could not wear a custom mask for the team's Native American Heritage night, his agent said Friday.
Allan Walsh confirmed his client was informed he couldn't wear the mask, even for warmups.
The league prohibits players from wearing specialty jerseys, masks, stickers, decals or tape for theme nights.
The league initially banned players from using rainbow-coloured tape on Pride nights before reversing that decision after receiving backlash from around the hockey community.
With the Wild celebrating Native American Heritage night Friday against Colorado, Fleury wanted to honour his wife, Veronique, who is of Abenaki and Mi'kmaq descent, with a specially designed mask.
Fleury, 38, is a three-time Stanley Cup champion and won the Vezina Trophy in 2021 as the league's top goaltender.
