It’s a dark day in the NHL for jersey purists. It has been reported that NHL’s board of governors voted to approved advertisements to be added to hockey sweaters as early as the 2022-23 season. At this time, there’s no reason to expect the Toronto Maple Leafs to opt out from taking part in this profitable opportunity.
There may be some hopeful Toronto Maple Leafs fans who will hang onto the idea that the franchise they love won’t sell out to advertisers.
