as long as the conflict between touch and no touch icing doesn't turn into sectarian violence in the streets I could not care less about this issue.

Anyone seriously into their religion knows hockey isn't one. Guy went to renew his license "after clearing up his fines (PLURAL)". Guy's a loser. Plus worships at the Church of the Oil, which means he actually doesn't believe in a Supreme Being.


Glad he has money to waste to go to the Supreme Court. I'm sure burka wearers will be glad he's going to bat for them.

The separation of church and state was to protect the church from the state not the other way around. However, if immigrants can wear Halloween costumes for government ID then this man should be able to wear a baseball cap, even if it's for the oilers.

Thumbs up Yes it is

Why not there are believers in rising up from the dead religions etc so why not hockey too? Only thing is that there are more than one God as in hockey gods and this religion is backed up by facts not fiction.

Heard him on the radio this morning. Needs to work on his argument before he tackles the Supreme Court.

Good for him. No reason, one has to be religious to get special treatment.
