The Canucks have revealed their intentions for their pride night which will be taking place tomorrow against the Flames. There have been lots of controversies all around the league on the subject and there had been doubts about whether or not the Canucks would be wearing a special jersey for the occasion. The Canucks released the following statement in that regard last night, it was Michael Doyle, the team's president of business operations for Canucks Sports & Entertainment, who spoke:
The Canucks have shown their support for the cause and so has Hughes, however, there are still some issues to be uncovered. It's well-known across the league that some Russian players have decided to opt out of wearing the pride night jerseys for safety reasons and/or personal beliefs. The Canucks' roster showcases Andrei Kuzmenko, Vasily Podkolzin, and Vitaly Kravtsov who could be playing, at this point none of them have made any statement in that regard. We expect to know more closer to game time tomorrow!
