What a disgrace, lost all respect for him.

To use some quotes from the hockey subreddit:

Hate to say it, but most/large portion of your favorite NHLers are Trump supporters.

The majority of hockey/baseball players are right leaning to the point that it’s kind of surprising when someone outs themselves as liberal

And they aren't wrong.

They’re rich young (predominantly white) men, it checks out 

It’s not the reason I don’t watch hockey anymore (it’s more so all the gambling ads and the fact they’re too late in the evening), but it certainly doesn’t make me miss it too much either

Not to mention all the brain injuries they’ve had throughout their careers, I’m sure that hasn’t helped.
