Safety concerns over Russia's anti-LGBTQ "propaganda" law are behind the team decision not to wear the jerseys, sources say.
I'm told this was an organizational decision, and didn't come from the players. The Blackhawks will not wear Pride jerseys for warmups on Pride Night on Sunday, per sources.
With three players of Russian heritage on the roster, safety concerns about a new Russian law banning "gay propaganda" prompted the decision.
