This month for the NHL is Hockey Fights Cancer. With this initiative in mind Logan Thompson wanted to add a cancer ribbon to his mask to show support. The NHL declined him the ability to do this in alignment with their rules banning things like specialty jerseys.
Since it was revealed that Thompson was outlawed from making this change many people in the hockey community have reacted in disgust.
After this announcement was made fans came ton the defense of Thompson and encouraged him to proceed anyway.
The outrage extended to an NHL agent Allan Walsh who isn't afraid to use social media to share his feelings.
Walsh called out the NHL and stuck up for Thompson. Walsh is most known for another social media post with Marc-Andre Fleury that inferred the Vegas Golden Knights were stabbing him in the back.
While most agents stay away from social media Walsh has used his to fight for players' right to speak about their situations. The NHL recently backed off of their pride tape ban so let's see if they end up allowing Thompson to change his helmet as well.
