Brad Aldrich is accused of sexually assaulting player Kyle Beach during the team’s run to the 2010 title
The Hockey Hall of Fame confirmed in an email to The Canadian Press on Wednesday the disgraced former Chicago Blackhawks video coach’s name is now covered by Xs on the trophy.Blackhawks owner Rocky Wirtz wrote a letter to Hall of Fame chairman Lanny McDonald last week stating that Aldrich’s conduct disqualified him from being included on the Cup, and the team made a mistake by submitting his name.
McDonald spoke with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman and deputy commissioner Bill Daly on Friday about Wirtz’s letter, according to a statement from the Hall last week. Wednesday’s move comes in the wake of a damning report released last week that details how the Blackhawks’ senior leadership badly mishandled the allegations against Aldrich more than a decade ago.
