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.

    Absolutely braindead on the part of the league once again. Hope this gains lots of media traction and they’re forced to answer even more uncomfortable and embarrassing questions about it.

      I’d like them to explain why it was okay for the Flames to all wear Mike Vernon jerseys during warm-ups a couple of weeks ago.
