This site is great because people come here to break deals. Be it because they heard it from a close friend or otherwise.
Although I couldn't find the post, I thought I posted about either Dion's foot or Hammer's hand in 06 or 07 well before it was made public after the playoffs. The important thing isn't to say "my friend who...", you should post the info and PM the mods in necessary or say in your post "mods PM me for verification."
Obviously sharing information about an incarcerated psycopath is quite a bit more serious than an NHL signing, trade, injury though. I would likely only ever share NHL related info.

While I appreciate the distinction you are making the actual offence is the same in both cases being disclosing confidential information of a person who is under your medical care. I am pretty sure the Alberta Health Act is the legislation, if not the PIPPA. If these people were doctors then the Medical Professions Act and the Rules and Regulations of the College of Physicians may also come into play.
It is the same (sort of without getting technicalities about privilege) as a lawyer coming home and telling about the confession his client made to him and where the money is buried.
