- The Minnesota Wild celebrated Pride Night for the second time in franchise history Tuesday, but found themselves in hot water after players didn’t wear LGBTQ+ jerseys that were previously advertised.
- Prior to the game against the Calgary Flames, the Wild announced that they had intended to wear Pride-themed warmup jerseys and then would later auction them off. However, the organization decided not to do so just hours before the puck dropped.
- As a result, the Wild were slammed with accusations of “homophobia” and other criticisms.
