The topic of Pride Night in hockey has recently sparked controversy among fans. Some individuals believe that social issues, such as promoting LGBTQ+ pride, should not be incorporated into hockey, while others argue that hockey should be an inclusive and welcoming environment for all individuals. The Blackhawks, along with several other teams, have opted to cancel their plans to wear pride-themed warmup jerseys on their designated Pride Night. The reason for this decision is due to concerns for their three Russian players who could potentially face legal repercussions, such as arrest, for being seen in a jersey promoting LGBTQ+ pride. <div align='center'><blockquote class='twitter-tweet' data-lang='en'><a href='https://twitter.com/Mario_Tirabassi/status/1638663586322214913?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1638663586322214913%7Ctwgr%5E31cd6c55d8e7fc9701ff24a19af7258e8917d455%7Ctwcon%5Es1_c10&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hockeypatrol.com%2FBlackhawks-Side-With-Russia-on-an-Important-Social-Issue-220161'> </a></blockquote></div>
