Sharks goalie cites faith, declines to wear LGBTQ-themed jersey on Pride Night

San Jose Sharks goaltender James Reimer will not participate in Pride Night on Saturday, citing his faith as the reason. The team is planning to have players wear warmup jerseys “with crest and patch artwork specific for Sharks Pride Night and designed by local artist,” according to a team statement. Reimer is not expected to be on the ice for warmups. The Sharks said they “acknowledge and accept the right of individuals to express themselves, including how or whether they choose to express their beliefs, regardless of the cause or topic.”
