Bettman meets with Beach, offers league's help MORE:
CHICAGO — NHL commissioner Gary Bettman talked to Kyle Beach on Saturday about what the league can do to better protect its players after the former first-round pick said he was sexually assaulted by an assistant coach in 2010 and his allegations were largely ignored by the Chicago Blackhawks.
“There was discussion about what could be done in the future to assure this kind of thing did not occur again,” Loggans said in an email to the AP. The NHL fined Chicago US$2 million for “the organization’s inadequate internal procedures and insufficient and untimely response" to Beach's allegations that he was sexually assaulted by Brad Aldrich during the team’s Stanley Cup run in 2010.
Accounts of what was said during the meeting vary, but the report found there was no evidence that anything was done about the accusations before then-team president John McDonough contacted the team’s director of human resources on June 14 — a delay that violated the organization's sexual harassment policy.
