The Blackhawks held settlement talks Tuesday with an attorney for Kyle Beach and another meeting is expected to take place in the near future.
held settlement talks Tuesday with an attorney for a former player who is suing the team after he accused an assistant coach of sexual assault in 2010 and the team largely ignored the allegations.
Loggans said she explained her basis for a settlement during the meeting, and the Blackhawks' attorneys"listened and discussed issues they feel affect this matter.'' Blackhawks owner Rocky Wirtz and CEO Danny Wirtz, Rocky's son, have asked to meet with Beach, but Loggans said he"wants to see a little bit more about how they're going to treat the settlement issue before he makes his decision.''
Former federal prosecutor Reid Schar, who led the investigation, said his law firm found no evidence that Rocky or Danny Wirtz were aware of the allegations before Beach's lawsuit was brought to their attention ahead of its filing. But the report noted that many top executives were aware of the claim, and there was no evidence that the team took any action for about for three weeks.
