Hello everyone I have done some important journalism for you all 🫡
Now introducing:
Which NHL teams did a pride month post?
Anaheim Ducks: No. Which is a shame as I have it on good authority their organist is a trans women.
Boston Bruins: Yes, it's ok.
Carolina Hurricanes: Nuh uh.
Chicago Blackhawks: Nope.
Colorado Avalanche: Yes, about their pride night and pride skate.
Columbus Blue Jackets: No. But do they really exist anyway?
Dallas Stars: No. But they weirdly posted a video of their players trying to lasso a boot? If I was giving them the benefit of the doubt it might be something to do with brokeback mountain.
Edmonton Oilers: Yes, it's a fun piece of art!
Florida Panthers: Yes, it's ok.
L A Kings: Yes, talking about the work they did (working with lgbtq initiatives to help people into jobs in the industry and sponsoring a local lgbtq hockey tournament)
Minnesota Wild: Yes and they have a custom version of their logo which isn't just the pride flag with their normal outline!
Montréal Canadiens: No 😔.
Nashville Predators: Yes, but not loads going on.
New Jersey Devils: Yeah, it's fine I guess. They also made their logo a cutout of their logo with the pride flag behind.
New York Rangers: No, an instagram story (for gay parole)
Philadelphia Flyers: Yes, it's ok.
Pittsburgh Penguins: Yes, and called on people to support local lgtbq owned business and giving specific examples.
Ottawa Senators: Yes and their logo is kinda horrific but you have to appreciate that they are going to have it for a month because... wow. [1] Also they're flying a pride flag outside their arena for a month :)
San Jose Sharks: Yes, and a post showing their pride night, pride parade and the team trans hockey game that was played at the SAP Center
Seattle Kraken: Yes, and as their pride jerseys and logo was so beautiful for their pride night I am very happy about this :) They also changed their logo to a pride logo.
St Louis Blues: No, but it was a certain Mr Snuggles's birthday (ok he might be called Snuggerud shush).
Tampa Bay Lightning: Yes, it's ok.
Vancouver Canucks: No, they have an instagram story. Their pride edition logo is so pretty though, it's a shame they have changed their profile to it 😔.
Vegas Golden Knights: No. But that's not a surprise is it. They decided to post about national cancer survivor month. Which sure I guess... It's giving all the comments saying it's men's mental health month. Which is true but not the point.
Washington Capitals: Yes and an instagram story which linked to a page on their website explaining what pride is about, why inclusivity is important and giving resources to learn more about the lgbtq community. They also have multiple initiatives to raise money for and help the lgbtq community. (Admittedly this is my team so I am a little biased, but equally no one else linked to a page like this in their posts. If you want me to see you doing good things, show it to me!)
Winnipeg Jets: No, but they have a story.
n.b. I know it's not the be all and end all to post something for pride month, and even posting something doesn't even mean much - it actually shows much more if you are doing something to support the community. But it does show something if you don't even bother to post the bare minimum thing. Which almost half of the league has done.
Also! If I am wrong on any of this please feel free to tell me and I'll try to update the post where possible. I am only looking on instagram so it is possible they have posted stuff otherwise (I do not use the hellsite that is twitter).
