Kevin Cheveldayoff maintained that he believed Brad Aldrich had been accused of sexual harassment by Kyle Beach, and understood that executives were handling it
Winnipeg Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff publicly addressed his role in the Blackhawks scandal for the first time on Tuesday and said he was unaware until only recently about the severity of the allegations made against a video coach in Chicago in 2010 when he was the club’s assistant general manager.
“Had I known there was a sexual assault, I would hope my response would have risen to another level,” Cheveldayoff added. “There is what I knew, and what I know now. New issues have come to light and it changes things and makes you want to ask questions.” Stan Bowman, the Hawks general manager at the time, resigned on Oct. 26, the same morning the report was made public. Joel Quenneville, the team’s coach in 2010, stepped down as the bench boss of the Florida Panthers after a meeting with NHL commissioner Gary Bettman on Thusday.
“Sexual abuse is never self-contained,” Chipman said. “It’s not an isolated incident that gets sealed up. It has long-reaching implications.” A news conference to discuss the allegations scheduled for Tuesday was postponed after the firm that represents Erin Skalde, Romanucci & Blandin LLC, said a second woman had come forward to detail a similar assault against Donatelli and more time was needed to investigate her claim.
