It's drawn a lot of attention with some applauding his decision while others have called for him to be benched, traded and even kicked out of the League. The LGBTQ community has even voiced their opinions and was mostly disappointed in Provorov for refusing to support them.
With all of this going on oddly enough Ivan Provorov's popularity has sky rocketed through the roof. In fact according to Flyer Insider Greg Price, Ivan Provorov's jerseys are sold out on NHL Shop.com and NHL Fanatics.com aswell as at The Philadelphia Flyers store at Wells Fargo Arena.
