Minnesota Wild defenceman Matt Dumba raised his right fist for 'The Star Spangled Banner' and 'O Canada' prior to his team's first game of the NHL's restart against the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday at Rogers Place.
EDMONTON -- Minnesota Wild defenceman Matt Dumba raised his right fist for "The Star Spangled Banner" and "O Canada" prior to his team's first game of the NHL's restart against the Vancouver Canucks on Sunday at Rogers Place.
The Regina native said earlier Sunday he made the decision to raise his fist during the anthems for the rest of the restart after talking to former Wild forward J.T. Brown, who also raised his fist for the "Star Spangled Banner" in 2017 as a member of the Tampa Bay Lightning to protest police brutality and racism.
