'We’re not going to talk about 2010.” In a town hall Wednesday, Blackhawks owner Rocky Wirtz shut down questions about Kyle Beach, a player who alleged sexual assault by an assistant coach
Publish date:CHICAGO — Chicago Blackhawks owner Rocky Wirtz apologized Wednesday night after he angrily rejected any conversation connected to the franchise’s response when a player said he was sexually assaulted by an assistant coach.
“Tonight, at the Chicago Blackhawks town hall, my response to two questions crossed the line,” Wirtz said in a release. “I want to apologize to the fans and those reporters, and I regret that my response overshadowed the great work this organization is doing to move forward. We have the right leaders and right processes in place to create a safe environment for our employees and players.”
“I’m going to answer the question, not Danny,” Rocky Wirtz said. “I think the report speaks for itself. The people that were involved are no longer here. We’re not looking back at 2010, we’re looking forward. And we’re not going to talk about 2010.”
