Some teams may have had to cancel pride nights, but the league let the players go without punishment for taking warmups. This seems in direct conflict with their CBA, right?
James Reimer, the goalie of the Detroit Red Wings, refused to participate in the event. Similar to other NHL players, he cited his religious beliefs as a reason to skip warmups.
This weekend, Reimer was handed a pride flag, which he carried to his truck and through the rest of the line. After that, he would take it back to his truck and hold it open there.
