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.
