Sheldon Kennedy has been in the same position as Kyle Beach and wants to see the NHL create the infrastructure that not only helps others in potential situations going forward, but that also educates others so that this doesn't happen again.Chicago BlackhawksSpeaking during Hockey Central, Kennedy thinks that even though this is a disappointing situation, it's also a teachable moment.
"The league needs to learn and make sure that they've created the infrastructure within every organization to not only educate every single person, but they also have to have a clear pathway for those to be able to receive help, and have a clear action plan for when that disclosure comes forward." Since then, he has worked tirelessly over the last two decades to educate organizations, coaches, parents and athletes about the dangers of abuse in sport. Kennedy’s organization, Respect in Sport, has worked to train coaches, parents and athletes about how to identify and prevent sexual abuse.
