Brett Connolly isn't interested in going to the White House should the Washington Capitals be feted by U.S. President Donald Trump.
"Personally, I don’t think I’m going to go ... it has nothing to do with politics," Connolly told reporters, including theScore's John Matisz, at BioSteel camp Wednesday. "For me, I just don’t think it’s the right thing to do.
“Everyone is entitled to their opinion," he added. "I think there’ll be a few guys not going, too. Like I said, it has nothing to do with politics, it’s about what’s right and wrong, and we’ll leave it at that.”
Devante Smith-Pelly said back in June that he already had his mind made up and criticized the president for his "racist and sexist" rhetoric.
