's interview with TSN and revelations of alleged abuse, National Hockey League Players' Association executive director Don Fehr released a statement late Wednesday in which he acknowledged a"serious failure" to take action when Beach reached out to the organization. In his interview with TSN's Rick Westhead, Beach was asked about his experience of reporting the alleged incidents to the Players' Association after they happened.I suppose it should also be pointed out that according to the report, that on multiple occasions, Don Fehr – the executive director of the NHL Players’ Association – was also made aware of concerns about Brad Aldrich’s misconduct and promised people to investigate and didn’t.
"In his media interview, Mr. Beach stated that several months after the incident he told someone at the NHLPA the details of what happened to him. He is referring to one of the program doctors with the NHL/NHLPA player assistance program. While this program is confidential between players and the doctors, the grave nature of this incident should have resulted in further action on our part. The fact that it did not was a serious failure.
