Given the nature of the lawsuit and the horrific details of the alleged sexual assaults, it’s no wonder Cheveldayoff has chosen to tread lightly.But when it comes to Cheveldayoff’s next step, releasing a less-than-revealing statement isn’t going to be enough.
If Cheveldayoff doesn’t want to share his thoughts publicly before the meeting with Bettman, that’s his prerogative. The Jets organization prides itself on continuity and stability, so what comes next won’t include any rash decisions.“I had no knowledge of any allegations involving Mr. Aldrich until asked if I was aware of anything just prior to the conclusion of his employment with the Chicago Blackhawks. After confirming that I had no prior knowledge of anything, I had no further involvement,” the statement said, before noting he would co-operate with any investigation.
One would suspect Cheveldayoff was a bit more forthright when he shared the details with his employer, otherwise the discussion could already be headed in a different direction entirely.
