All things NHL

[Buzz]

The Stanley Cup playoffs are on now. Not something I usually watch but several of my clients do so I am forced to watch too. LOL
Unfortunately it has not all been good. After the Edmonton Oilers exited their series, vile racist comments were posted online about Oilers defence man Ethan Bear. The NHL and others have defended Bear.

An Update on the Chicago Blackhawks investigation.

This is a hockey podcast mostly about the Leafs, but this episode discusses the Chicago Blackhawks & the sexual assaults that happened in 2010. Trigger Warning for Sexual Assault as there is some sexually explicit discussion of the allegation in this case during the episode

I saw the interview Kyle Beach gave with Rick Westhead.Absolutely heartbreaking and I completely commend Kyle for coming forward as well as Rick’s sensitivity during the interview. The NHL and the Blackhawks failed Kyle with their handling of this and as for the teammates who mocked him, there are just no words.

It is pretty horrible. He had a lot of guts coming forward.

Itisn't the same thing but if you look back at the David Frost and Mike Danton story that was a ? case.

I have no doubt that all types of crap happens in the NHL (lower levels too) and other sports too.
