Hockey always has been a leader in inclusivity. So how did the NHL's ill-advised ban — and reversal — on Pride tape happen?
Hang around hockey people enough — coaches, general managers, scouts, even fans — and one of the most frequent phrases you’ll hear is “progress isn’t linear.” Sometimes a prospect’s meteoric rise plateaus for a few games, a couple of months, a full season. Sometimes a rebuilding team finishes further back in the standings than it did a year earlier. Sometimes a step back is merely a launching point. Advertisement That’s natural. Inevitable.
It had to end this way. If the commissioner’s office punished Dermott — a player with a long history of supporting the LGBTQ+ community, and a player on a two-way contract with very little standing and no leverage in the league — it would have looked like a bunch of monsters, like regressive tyrants, and would’ve made Dermott a martyr and folk hero.
