Indeed, the Quebec goalie chose to honor Indigenous heritage, as well as his Native American wife, by wearing a mask dedicated to the First Nations, despite the ban by the National Hockey League commissioner. Despite Gary Bettman's threats, Fleury kept his word by wearing his beautiful mask against the Colorado Avalanche on November 24th.
Many fans were questioning the penalty or fine that would be imposed on him for daring to defy the NHL. However, in the last few hours, a very interesting update has come through Ryan Whitney during his "Spittin' Chiclets" podcast.
Note that the mask, which was auctioned on the Minnesota Wild Foundation's website, has exceeded the amount of $15,000. Of course, all profits from its sale will be donated to the Minnesota Wild Foundation and the American Indian Center.
