The most controversial topic of this year just 19 days in has been Philadelphia Flyers defensemen Ivan Provorov. The Philadelphia Flyers held a ''pride appreciation night'', where players would wear pride-flagged jerseys during warmups, where they would then be auctioned off for charity afterwards.

Provorov refused to wear the pride-flagged jersey and sat in the locker room while his teammates participated in warmups.


It has been drawing an awful amount of controversy since it took place, nearly every single big-named NHL reporter, player and organization has spoken out about it.



The most recent to speak out were Connor McDavid, Andrew Cogliano and Sam Gagner, a former teammate of Provorov. All three interviews can be seen below:
