Ahead of the Flyers’ home game against the Ducks on Tuesday, the team donned rainbow-adorned jerseys during the pregame skate as part of its Pride Night celebration. One player, though—defender Ivan Provorov—declined to join the team on the ice for warmups.
After the game, Provorov cited his religious beliefs as his reasoning for not wearing the jersey, saying that he respects other people’s choices.
