The NHLPA executive board announced it has voted in favour of conducting an independent review of how the Association handled the 2010 sexual assault allegations made by Kyle Beach, a Chicago Blackhawks prospect at the time, against the team video coach.
The vote comes after Donald Fehr, the NHLPA executive director, recommended on Monday that the union hire outside counsel to conduct a probe during a call with the 32-member board.
The NHLPA meeting came after a bombshell report by Jenner & Block LLP exposed the findings of an investigation into the sexual assault allegations made against Aldrich by John Doe, subsequently revealed to be Beach., Fehr was contacted twice about allegations connected to Aldrich, including by a Beach confidant. Fehr told investigators he couldn't recall either conversation, but did not deny that they had occurred.
