'I think the guys that were part of that group all wish they could’ve done something different.' Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane spoke about their knowledge of the Blackhawks sexual misconduct scandal and shared their thoughts on the fallout.
into sexual assault allegations made by two former Chicago Blackhawks players against a former assistant coach, team leaders Jonathan Toews and Patrick Kane spoke Wednesday to address their knowledge of the situation, and its fallout.
“I didn’t know anything at the time,” Kane said. “Even [Wednesday], when Kyle came out as John Doe, that’s the first time I knew that it was him. And as far as the bullying and the different comments, I don’t remember any of that either. Listen, I think it was a terrible situation, and I obviously feel for him if things were getting thrown his way — you know, tough words, bullying, different things like that. I definitely feel for him if that stuff happened.
“He was drafted the year after me, and I remember just going out to eat with him a few times, hanging out with him and Akim Aliu as well. Us three seemed to be together a lot,” Kane said. “Listen, I knew Stan very well, I know him as a great man. He did a lot for me personally, coming into the league and just over the course of my career. I’m sure he probably would’ve handled things a little bit differently nowadays. But what happened happened in the past, and I think the organization made the right moves to get the Blackhawks going forward in the right steps, and making sure we’re trending forward.
