The Vancouver Canucks face the Chicago Blackhawks on Sunday, the second game of three\u002Dgame road trip to the Central Division.
But a trio of players has not: Sharks goalie James Reimer and Panthers brothers Erik and Marc Staal, with all three players citing religious beliefs.
“With the religious reasons it just doesn’t compute for me. I was born and raised a Catholic. I don’t see any conflict between my religious beliefs and the ability to say to the LGBTQ+ community, you’re welcome here. That’s all Pride night is: You’re welcome in our building. They’re not asking you to sign any forms or ask you to join any churches. It’s about saying this community is valuable and important and we want to honour them,” Burke said.
