Yeah, it doesn't make a lot of sense to me. After all, Charley Pride was a baseball guy -- not hockey. Dodgers/Angels yes, Kings -- no. If it was just about country music then why not have a Strait night then? George Strait was the KING of country music.

I thought this thread was going to be about the old Kings slogan: Pride = Passion = Power.

On Phil Anchutz:
Anschutz is known for his conservative politics, particularly in the cultural realm of “morality” and “decency.” This is apparent in some of his business enterprises, such as his production company’s emphasis on family-friendly fare, and is even more clear in his political contributions. In the early 1990s, he donated to Colorado for Family Values, which backed Amendment 2, the measure that prohibited antidiscrimination protections for gays, lesbians, and bisexuals before the US Supreme Court declared it unconstitutional.
Anschutz has funded the antievolution Discovery Institute, the promarriage Institute for American Values, and morality groups such as the Media Research Center and Morality in Media, which campaign against what they consider indecency on television and the internet. He also has a relationship with conservative Supreme Court justice Neil Gorsuch, who represented Anschutz and his companies in the early 2000s and later received a letter of support from Anschutz for a federal judgeship in 2006.

So either his views have changed, he doesn't care anymore, or it's a league mandate.

Pride Month is a national thing, not an NHL invented thing, and almost certainly not a mandate. Some teams/organizations are very clearly doing more with it than others.
Feel free to read up more if you like. Closing this thread because it's already teetering on the edge of folks imposing value judgments on one another.
