NHL Fines Blackhawks $2 Million
In the immediate wake of the announcement that Stan Bowman and Al MacIsaac were no longer with the organization, the Chicago Blackhawks were fined $2 million by the NHL for the club’s handling of the sexual assault in 2010.
From the NHL’s release:
“The National Hockey League announced today that the Chicago Blackhawks have been fined $2 Million for the organization’s inadequate internal procedures and insufficient and untimely response in the handling of matters related to former video coach Brad Aldrich’s employment with the Club and ultimate departure in 2010. The League and the Blackhawks have decided that $1 Million of the fine money will be dedicated to fund local organizations in and around the Chicago community that provide counseling and training for, and support and assistance to, survivors of sexual and other forms of abuse.“
They should take away our first round pick next year that belongs to Columbus
LOL!!!
Good one Mike.
League meeting with Q and Cheveldae, wonder how?it affects theor jobs as well. Bowman, MacIsaac, McDonough have to be interviewed by nhl before taking another job with a team.
Goodbye Team USA StanBo.
Good one HereisMike1.
Finally 1 down
I read excerpts of the young player’s statement of what happened and it was really sick stuff. It seems Brent Sopel knew about it. But did he not tell any other players and then how did he know about it and no other players knew but him?
Big shots in fancy suits ,fancy cars and fancy homes ! The club has made Hundreds of Millions over the last decade and thought this was just going to be swept under the Rink ! It’s about time to figure it all out ! This is now 2021 guys ! Things have changed so get with the program ! POPS 4
Good riddens Stan-Bo maybe we have half a chance your decision making over spending and evaluating of personal cap management was a disaster it would be hard for your replacement to meet your bar thoughts anyone??
2 million? They got off easy.
Hawks will pay the price solid for a few years I think ..it’s probably the tip off the iceberg.
We will have more news in the next Months but it’s far from over .
They could of made a good exemple for the league at the time but they decide to hide everything now the volcano just blew up in their faces .
And I would not be surprise to see Quenville loosing is job .
