Montreal Canadiens forward Denis Gurianov will not partake in warmups for Pride Night after choosing not to wear a themed jersey, the team announced on Thursday.

The decision is related to family reasons, per Canadiens head coach Martin St. Louis. The Canadiens will be wearing a Pride-themed warmup jersey.

“I haven’t walked a day in (Gurianov’s) shoes,” St. Louis said when asked if he was disappointed that the Canadiens didn’t have full participation from the entire room. “I know one thing…you should always try to protect your family. So I have a tough time judging that.”

"evolving as a society to be more accepting and welcoming of all, without exception.”

Thus anyone who refuses to wear such a jersey will be welcomed by all, right?

No athlete should wear a “pride” jersey — unless he wants to groom children into the homosexual lifestyle.

All because the NHL is trying to rid itself of a certain image in any and all forms.

I saw him play on numerous occasions for the Texas Stars (AHL). I thought he was headed for the greatest hockey league in the world. He’s also an intelligent fellow as evidenced by this decision.

All of these professional sports have gone down my memory hole. They don’t exist for me any more.

Good for Denis. I wished he would have scored more goals in Dallas but he was fast. Very fast.

Without exception?

The pedophiles must be rejoicing.

"...a “pride” jersey ..."

.

Why is 'pride' warranted to be broadcast that a person commits sodomy?

I do not understand this 'pride' business - really.

When I see “Christian Pride Night” and them having to wear jerseys saying that, we will talk

“While we understand the decision, we also hope the focus of attention remains where it belongs: on evolving as a society to be more accepting and welcoming of all, without exception.”

I must have been told a lie. To my knowledge, professional sports is about entertainment of the sport (and making money) and not making a statement about a topic concerning recreational sex. I played hockey in college and I wasn’t aware there was a chapter in the NCAA or NHL rule or case book concerning the proper presentation or accomplishment of any type of sex in either rule book involving the sport. Maybe they should go to South American and play the gay cabelleros. It might make scoring far more important.

I believe Adidas is the single manufacturer currently.

It’s one of the seven deadly sins. By flaunting their ‘pride’ the homos are directly challenging traditional Christianity.

Good for him. As he is the fourth or fifth player to do so, you would think the NHL top brass would begin taking notice and realize that indeed, professional hockey has nothing to do with gay or LGBTQ pride.

Marty Walsh, who worked for Biden and was the Mayor of Boston, has been appointed the recent head of the NHLPA. My interpretation of what he stated in the past few days was that he thoroughly supports the gay community but also feels a player should be allowed to not to wear a jersey.
