'I respect everybody and I respect everybody's choices,' Provorov said. 'My choice is to stay true to myself ... That's all I'm going to say.'
2. Learn of player whose religion preaches hate toward the communities supported by Pride Night— Matt Larkin Provorov's coach, John Tortorella, said he respected his player's beliefs and stood behind him. Tortorella said there wasn't even a consideration of benching Provorov for his actions.
"With Provy, he's being true to himself and to his religion. This has to do with his belief and his religion. It's one thing I respect about Provy, he's always true to himself. That's where I'm at with that," Tortorella said. The Flyers released a statement after the game saying it will continue to support the LGBTQ community.
"The Philadelphia Flyers organization is committed to inclusivity and is proud to support the LGBTQ+ community. Many of our players are active in their support of local LGBTQ+ organizations, and we were proud to host our annual Pride Night again this year. The Flyers will continue to be strong advocates for inclusivity and the LGBTQ+ community."
