Review clears NHL Players' Association of mishandling former player Kyle Beach's sexual assault allegations
On Friday, the NHLPA made public a third-party review prepared by the law firm of Cozen O'Connors that concludes the NHLPA's failure to act on Beach's reports stemmed from a failure of communication.
Beach, a former player in the Chicago Blackhawks farm system, reported being sexually assaulted by Aldrich, the team's video coach from 2008 to 2010, during Chicago's 2010 Stanley Cup run. The report, which came in response to lawsuits by Beach and a former high school student Aldrich was convicted of assaulting in Michigan after leaving Chicago, also revealed Fehr was contacted twice about allegations connected to Adrich.
The report also cleared Dr. Brian Shaw, a psychologist and co-administrator for the NHL/NHLPA's Substance Abuse and Behavioural Health Program, of wrongdoing despite being told of the Aldrich allegations by Beach and another player.
