NHL makes puzzling decision, bars Vegas Golden Knights goaltender from putting emblem on helmet
The National Hockey League has been run questionably for some time now, trying to dictate which causes players can openly support while getting severe backlash and having to overturn some of those decisions, but, it doesn't stop them from telling players what they can and can't put on their equipment.
According to Max Miller of The Hockey News, Vegas Golden Knights goaltender Logan Thompson was denied the ability to put a cancer ribbon on his helmet. Even though November is Hockey Fights Cancer; take a look.
Per sources, #VegasBorn goalie Logan Thompson wanted to put a Cancer ribbon on his helmet design but was told he couldn't by the NHL. It is Hockey Fights Cancer Month in the NHL. Thompson is the backup goalie tonight against the #SJSharks.

This decision by the NHL seems odd to say the least, especially given the recent reversal of the decision on Pride Tape and the fact that they've been a huge supporter of Hockey Fights Cancer in the past.
One has to wonder if the out cry of support to overturn this decision will be the same as the one we saw with Pride Tape. As it stands right now though, the NHL has made the decision not to allow a cancer ribbon on Thompson's helmet.
