Man, I?d love to see a lasting crackdown on cross-checking.

The NHL is thinking of relaxing its dress code for players. In other news, the NHL has a dress code for players. Why? Who cares?
Our very own Auston Matthews is quoted as one of the guys who'd like to be a little freer to dress to his own style.

I mean, I think that's just basic professionalism - don't show obvious support for a political movement/party (with an exception for supporting causes like today's orange shirt day, mental health awareness, etc.), and don't wear anything you wouldn't wear in public. I don't think that needs to be codified.

Nik said:I think it's fine for a team to have policies on dress or behaviour or what have you, I just don't think it should be codified league-wide so that a team doesn't have to deal with the consequences of perhaps not having a policy that players appreciate. If Lou Lamoriello wants everyone to dress like they stepped out of a Sears Menswear Catalogue in 1964, fine, but players should be able to then say "Eh, maybe I'll go somewhere that priotizes what I do on the ice and not how I look walking to the rink".
