BREAKING Panthers head coach resigns after meeting regarding Blackhawks sex abuse case
“I’ve witnessed meetings, right after I reported it to James Gary, that were held in Joel Quenneville’s office,” Beach said. “There’s absolutely no way that he can deny knowing it.”
“I reported every single detail to an individual at the NHLPA,” Beach said in the interview. “I believe two different people talked to Don Fehr and for him to turn his back on the players, when his one job is to protect the players at all costs, I don’t know how that can be your leader. I don’t know how he can be in charge.”
"There is no doubt that the system failed to support him in his time of need, and we are part of that system," Fehr said in the statement.
