Hockey-Playing Trump Supporters: A Sourced List in Progress

This post is the actual list, unlike my previous post which, as I should have said more clearly, was meant more as a signal boost/information gathering sort of thing. Thanks to everyone who’s helped so far!

IMPORTANT: This list is still in progress, and will be updated consistently. Always trust the version of the post that you see when you click back to my blog, not older/outdated versions you might see from reblogs or comments. If you have newer/better info please send it to me here, at my sideblog, or on this anonymous SurveyMonkey poll, with links or screenshots included if at all possible. Thanks a million to @highstik , who gave me tons of great info, as well as everyone else who’s chipped in!

I have erred on the side of caution in putting people on this list. I don’t want this to be a witch hunt of people whose political beliefs are different from mine– I think there’s a lot of space to disagree on political issues, but loudly supporting Donald Trump in spite of his racist, xenophobic, misogynist, Islamophobic, ableist views just because his policies will benefit you personally is not something that’s acceptable to me. However, to avoid casting the net too wide I’m not going to include people who have solely liked pro-Trump posts or followed pro-Trump people– those are both things that people could do for a variety of reasons, and I think it’s risky to make assumptions about people’s political beliefs based on them. The same holds true for people whose spouses support Trump.

I’m also not going to include people who I can’t find receipts for on the main list– if someone was cowed enough to delete pro-Trump stuff because of public outcry I have no way of knowing whether they had a genuine change of heart or they just didn’t want to deal with the fallout, so again I’m erring on the side of caution. Here’s the TL;DR version of the list of definite Trump supporters; links, sources, and borderline supporters/mythbusted supporters are below the cut.

TL;DR list, sorted alphabetically by last name: Logan Brown [OHL], Tony DeAngelo [AHL], Max Domi [ARI], Jack Eichel [BUF], Nathan Gerbe [SNL], Scott Hartnell [CBJ], Robin Lehner [BUF], Rebecca Russo [NWHL], Teemu Selanne, Kelli Stack [NWHL], James Wisniewski [AHL]

People I’ve seen on unsourced lists who I’m still researching (please send links if you have them!):

Mark Arcobello, Laurent Broissoit, Alex Debrincat, Patrick Eaves, Alex Goligoski, Ryan Miller, Derek Ryan, Cam Talbot, James Van Riemsdyk
