Yesterday, during the game between the Golden Knights and the San Jose Sharks, Logan Thompson, the backup goalie for Vegas, wanted to wear a Cancer ribbon on his helmet in honor of Hockey Fights Cancer Month in the NHL.
This is sad. A cause as universal as cancer awareness should be embraced by all, especially during the NHL's dedicated month. Denying a player the right to wear a simple ribbon is regrettable. It hurts the NHL as well as the cause.
