In a surprising turn of events, the NHL, along with Commissioner Gary Bettman, has made a reversal on their decision to ban rainbow stick tape. The league has now reversed its stance, allowing players the option to use the tape at their discretion.
This change comes after a wave of support for the use of pride tape from both players and fans. Notably, Scott Laughton expressed his intention to continue using the tape, regardless of the ban.
«You'll probably see me with the pride tape on that night anyway," Laughton declared. "If they want to say something, they can."
This decision marks a significant step forward in promoting inclusivity and acceptance in the NHL, and it's likely to be met with enthusiasm from many players and supporters.
