San Jose Sharks goalkeeper James Reimer has received both support and criticism for refusing to wear a pride jersey in warmups.

National Hockey League (NHL) stalwart Reimer said his Christian faith was the reason for his refusal to wear the jersey just before the Sharks’ home loss to the New York Islanders on March 18. The Sharks hosted a “Pride Night” that evening.
