Laughton furious with the NHL and will challenge the league on it's policy
With Connor McDavid speaking out against the NHL's needless ban on Pride Tape, other players have stepped forward to take action.
A misguided attempt at damage control was made after the league first banned specialty warmups.
After that, the league doubled down by banning pride tape. More people are joining the chorus in standing up to the league.
Philadelphia Flyers forward Scott Laughton hints that he'll disregard the NHL's ban on "cause messaging" by using Pride Tape.

Scott Laughton has also stood up for the community and worked for LGBT+ people in the Philadelphia area.
It appears that Laughton hasn't read the memo or didn't care about it, and will continue to use pride tape during pride night.
He partnered with former Philadelphia Flyers James Van Riemsdyk to organize in the community, donate tickets to the LGBTQ communities, and grow the game there.
Last year, he hosted a non-binary youth hockey player and their family in honor of Pride Night.
It is important to remember that even in the midst of all the polarization, the real ones like Laughton and McDavid are still standing up, and Philly should be proud that he has a spine.
