Ivan Provorov of the Philadelphia Flyers, James Reimer of the San Jose Sharks, and Marc and Eric Stahl of the Florida Panthers were among a fairly small group of players that declined to participate while citing religious reasons. Afterward, a few teams – including the Chicago Blackhawks and New York Rangers – elected against wearing the Pride jerseys collectively.
