Fleury Blocked From Showing Support For Native American Heritage Night
Marc-Andre Fleury was ready to show his full support for the Minnesota Wild's Native American Heritage Night last night, having had a custom mask designed to celebrate Native American Heritage. Fleury, whose wife is Native American, was quickly blocked by the NHL from doing so.
As part of Native American Heritage Night and to honor his wife, who is native, Marc-Andre Fleury had a custom-designed mask created by Cole Redhorse Taylor. Mask quotes his dad on back, has names of his kids.

Luongo Takes Stand For Fellow Goaltender Against the NHL and Gary Bettman
Fellow goaltender Roberto Luongo showed his support last night for Fleury when he took to social media to share his thoughts on their decision to block Fleury from wearing the mask. In his post, he questions what the NHL is even doing trying to do this stuff.
I mean come on what are we even doing here??????
Clearly, the NHL and NHLPA need to find a common ground agreement to solve this issue. Especially for goaltenders, who wear special and unique designs on their masks all the time.
