\n After standing as the only professional sports league to not have its game schedule altered Wednesday in the wake of the police shooting of Jacob Blake, the NHL is set to postpone all of its games Thursday night amid the players\u2019 desire to not play, according to multiple reports.<\/p>\n

The Vancouver Canucks were the driving force behind the players\u2019 decision to not play, The Post\u2019s Larry Brooks reports.<\/p>\n

The Islanders and Flyers game was already underway Wednesday afternoon when NBA, WNBA and some MLB games were postponed in solidarity with the ongoing racial injustice protests around the country. But the Lightning-Bruins game at 8 p.m. and the Avalanche-Stars game at 10:30 p.m. went on as scheduled.<\/p>\n

Before the Bruins and Lightning played, the league held a moment of reflection with video screens reading \u201cEnd Racism.\u201d ESPN reported that there was another pregame ceremony scheduled for the Avalanche-Stars game in Edmonton, but it did not take place.<\/p>\n

San Jose Sharks star Evander Kane, co-head of the Hockey Diversity Alliance, took to Twitter<\/a> Thursday afternoon to announce that the organization formally requested that the NHL suspend all playoff games Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe strongly feel this sends a clear message that human rights take priority over sports,\u201d Kane wrote.<\/p>\n

According to TSN, the NHL Players Association conducted a call to discuss the \u201cgrowing sense of players favor postponing [Thursday\u2019s] games.\u201d<\/p>\n

The imminent decision will postpone Game 3 for the Islanders-Flyers and Golden Knights-Canucks series<\/a>. Kane and the Wild\u2019s Matt Dumba, also a founding member of the HDA, had heavily criticized the NHL for going ahead with games Wednesday and called for the league to do more to address racial injustices.<\/p>\n

\u201cNHL is always last to the party on these topics,\u201d Dumba told Sportsnet 650 in Vancouver on Wednesday. \u201cIt\u2019s kind of sad and disheartening for me and for members of the Hockey Diversity Alliance, and I\u2019m sure for other guys across the league. But if no one stands up and does anything, then it\u2019s the same thing. That silence. You\u2019re just outside, looking in on actually being leaders and evoking real change when you have such an opportunity to do so.\u201d\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
