BREAKING: Gary Bettman And The NHL Responds To Illegal Pride Tape Usage
Gary Bettman and the NHL have responded to Travis Dermott using pride tape on the shaft of his stick.
Dermott Uses Pride Tape
Earlier today when the Coyotes were facing off against the Ducks, defenseman Travis Dermott used Pride Tape on the shaft of his stick violating NHL rules.
I just noticed Travis Dermott is quietly using @PrideTape tonight! This is what allyship looks like folks! #Yotes #HockeyISforEveryone
Since Dermott went viral for doing this, the NHL has caught wind of Dermott's actions and has released a statement on the issue.
The Athletic asked if the NHL wanted to comment on the matter and this was their response:
"We will review it in due course" - The NHL on Dermott using Pride Tape
Arizona Coyotes defenseman Travis Dermott used Pride tape on his stick in a game against the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday.
When asked if Dermott would be fined or otherwise disciplined, the NHL told The Athletic in a statement: «We will review it in due course." ⤵️
We will now await to see what Dermott's punishment is, if there is one at all, but no matter what the decision is, fans will certainly be divided.
