BREAKING: Winnipeg Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff will not face any discipline from the NHL for his role in the Chicago Blackhawks sexual misconduct scandal.
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman announced his decision Friday after a meeting with Cheveldayoff earlier in the day.
A report published this week after an independent investigation by Jenner & Block shed new light on sexual assault allegations levelled by two Blackhawks players against a coach during the team's run to the 2010 Stanley Cup.
In the aftermath of the report being published, Bowman, MacIsaac and Quenneville resigned from their posts with the Blackhawks and, in Quenneville's case, Panthers. However, after meeting with Cheveldayoff Friday, the NHL determined that the role he played did not warrant the same fate.
