News about Marc Staal

Many hockey fans were not expecting a second all-Sun Belt Stanley Cup Final in NHL history. Boston was the best regular season squad in the league's history going into the playoffs. They were knocked out by the worst team that made it in. Canada wished that they would win their first Stanley Cup since 1993. Rather, the Jets were quickly dismissed and the Maple Leafs and Oilers' star power was snuffed out.

The Vancouver Canucks' annual Pride Night on Friday will feature a drag show before the game, according to the team's news on Thursday. According to the team, the 'Pride Party on the Plaza' would include 'Vancouver-based musicians Mx.Bukuru, Carrie Oki Doki, Xanax, and Jerrilynn Spears, while the team will sport Pride themed warmup jerseys created by a local artist.' In a press release, Michael Doyle, president of Canucks Sports & Entertainment, said, 'The opportunity to commemorate the 2SLGBTQIA+ community is very important to our whole organization.'

Eric and Marc Staal, the Florida Panthers' fraternal pair, refused to wear a LGBTQ jacket and did not participate in the warmup skate, as such. The Staal brothers defended their rights by destroying the pride jersey as a result of religious convictions. 'We've chosen not to wear a pride night jersey today after many thoughts, prayers, and discussions,' the brothers said in a Panthers tweet.'
