Moscow, January 18 -/strong>. Russian defender of the NHL Philadelphia Flyers Ivan Provorov did not go to the reel before the game against the Anaheim Ducks.

It turned out that the local athlete refused to participate in the work in support of sexual minorities. The fact is that Philadelphia hockey players wear special jackets with inscriptions to support the LGBT community on the ice. The Russian, citing his religious beliefs, remained in the locker room – Provorov took part in the match, spending 22 minutes 45 seconds on the ice and ending the meeting with a utility index of +1.
