An investigation revealed the hockey team mishandled allegations that an assistant coach sexually assaulted a player during the team’s Stanley Cup run in 2010.
CHICAGO — The Chicago Blackhawks mishandled allegations that an assistant coach sexually assaulted a player during the team’s Stanley Cup run in 2010, according to an investigation commissioned by the franchise that cast a shadow over the NHL on Tuesday.
The Blackhawks hired Jenner & Block to conduct what they called an independent review in response to two lawsuits filed against the franchise: one by a player identified as John Doe alleging sexual assault by then-assistant coach Brad Aldrich in 2010 and another filed by a former student whom Aldrich was convicted of assaulting in Michigan., which team CEO Danny Wirtz called “both disturbing and difficult to read,” was released by the franchise.
Danny Wirtz said he has instructed the organization’s lawyers to try to “reach a fair resolution consistent with the totality of the circumstances.” But Loggans said there hadn’t been any settlement talks.“I’m waiting to see if there’s any action behind their repentance that they expressed today,” she told The Associated Press.
