I haven't been following them as close as I could. I'll be googling Brad Marchard! (Too bad I know some Marchands who are nice people)
Canucks cut ties with anthem singer Mark Donnelly over plan to sing at anti-mask rally
Vancouver Canucks anthem singer Mark Donnelly has confirmed that he will sing O Canada tomorrow at a rally to protest COVID-19 restrictions.
WARMINGTON: Canucks anthem singer axed for singing O Canada at anti-mask rally
He lost his job for singing O Canada!
He lost his job by embarrassing his employer-an organisation that works tirelessly to maintain a positive profile in the community by working with & raising money for local hospitals & hospices.
A few years back I was doing some tests in the local cancer clinic and walking into a room to rest there was a life sized paper cutout of Roberto Luongo in full uniform he was Canuck goalie at the time and a very popular player-it was signed of course and was part of the Canucks ongoing outreach effort.
I can think of literally dozens of efforts the team and players have put forth supporting health in the community-not wingnuttery- health and well being.

Most jobs like this have clauses in the contract about public image/behaviour. His employer decided they didn't want to have his name associated with the organization.
Having no idea how much he was being paid, perhaps that was a dimension that had some effect on both sides. I guess, same as the customer is "always right", so is the employer!
