The Hockey News writers voted Connor McDavid most likely to win the Art Ross, Hart, and Maurice Richard Trophies. Since the NHL sent out a memo to every team in the league banning the use of Pride Tape no one has defied the ban - until now. During the Arizona Coyotes and Anaheim Ducks game today, Travis Dermott of the Coyotes was spotted wearing Pride Tape on his stick. It was only a matter of time until a player stood up to the league on this matter. The CBA states that the player's can wear any color of tape on their sticks. Which creates a loophole should the league try to fine or discipline Dermott in any way. Pride Tape has always been optional and banning it made very little sense to begin with. We will see if the league decides to do anything about this infraction.
