Minnesota Wild goaltender Marc-Andre Fleury was told by the NHL he could not wear a custom mask for the team's Native American Heritage night, his agent said Friday.

Allan Walsh confirmed his client was informed he couldn't wear the mask, even for warmups. The league prohibits players from wearing specialty jerseys, masks, stickers, decals or tape for theme nights.

I read a substantial fine for he and the team

Watch a different league if you want them to change

Edit

Fleury offered to pay whatever fine he'd receive and the NHL threatened to levy the organization with an "additional significant fine."

It’s in the article, just a terrible league

"there's a fine for that"

"I'll pay the fine"

"In that case, I have a bonus paying the fine fine"

Did the NHL outsource fines to Ticketmaster too?

Already on it.
