NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman on Monday defended the league's recent response to sexual assault allegations made by former Chicago Blackhawks player Kyle Beach, apologizing to Beach and saying he was"horrified."
Bettman offered an apology to Beach on behalf of the league:"We could not be more sorry for the trauma that Kyle has had to endure and our goal is to do what is necessary to continue to move forward." "It was emotional. I was distressed. And I knew that he had obviously been suffering just by watching him and I wanted to make sure that we were continued to be focused on how to deal with what was now in front of us and I was sorry as a personal matter that anybody, particularly him, had to go through what he was discussing," Bettman said.
Aldrich resigned from his position in June 2010 in order to avoid an internal investigation into his alleged conduct, according to an outside investigation.
