The league may not be in favor of it, but the Toronto Maple Leafs have stated their intention to continue supporting Pride night despite a recent NHL ruling. <h2>NHL's Pride Ban Frustrates Teams</h2> Last season, a few players chose not to wear Pride-themed jerseys during warm-ups for religious or personal reasons, leading the NHL to discontinue the entire initiative. Additionally, the league recently sent a memo to NHL teams, specifying that Pride tape, the multicolored tape used on sticks to show support, was included in the ban. Leafs GM Brad Treliving has made it clear that he disagrees with this decision. <q>This organization, myself personally, we've always been supporters of the LGBTQ community. Nothing's going to change with that. We'll figure out ways that we make sure we do the right things and support, as we always have, and stay true to what we believe in. There's always challenges in the world but that doesn't affect how we support (causes). - Brad Treliving.</q> <div align='center' style='padding-top:20px;padding-bottom:20px;'><img src='https://i.marqueur.com/habsetlnh/i/photo/322093.webp' width='100%' border='0' alt='image' loading='lazy' defer /></div> <h2>Support for Treliving's Stance</h2> Defenseman Morgan Rielly agrees with Treliving and has expressed his commitment to finding a way to publicly support Pride. <q>I'm going to continue to support people and causes that I think are important and are worthy of the support regardless of whatever rules get put in place about tape or attire or jerseys or whatever. I want to continue to do what I think is right. - Morgan Rielly</q> Clearly, this is a sensitive issue for the NHL, but the decision to outright ban any initiatives during warm-ups does appear to be an overreaction.
