Some folks are worried that this move might mean the NHL is getting stricter about what players can say or do.
In a league-wide memo, they've put some rules in place about how players can show their support for different causes during league events.
The memo says players don't have to show personal support for any special initiatives, and this might mean they can't openly express themselves as freely as before.
Even though teams can still have pride nights, things might change. Players might feel like they can't interact with their fans the way they used to.
The league is likely going to keep a close eye on these events this season.
Now, some players might get creative to show their support within these new rules. But not everyone is happy about it.
Some folks think the NHL's slogan, "Hockey is for everyone," doesn't mean as much as it used to in the eyes of fans.
