NHL: James Reimer could get a gauge on the public’s reaction to him as soon as tonight when the San Jose Sharks play the Edmonton Oilers at Rogers Place
San Jose Sharks goalie James Reimer knows his refusal to wear a Pride-themed warmup jersey at a home game over the weekend could have a negative effect on his ability to play in the NHL past this season.
Reimer is believed to be the second NHL player this season to openly refuse to wear a Pride-themed jersey in warmups. Philadelphia defenseman Ivan Provorov, also citing his religion, skipped warmups prior to a Jan. 17 home game against the Anaheim Ducks. Reimer said he took his playing future into account before he made public his position regarding the Sharks’ Pride night.
At least one former NHL executive said the Sharks goalie’s stance — in and of itself – might not adversely impact his career in the league past this season. NHL general managers might also take into account the public’s reaction to signing Reimer, who has generally been well-liked and respected throughout his career.
