I've heard from several people in the know, that he had problems with the Vancouver Giants in the WHL. As for the Jets, numerous sources have now claimed that True North spent more time working with Kane on his off-ice issues, than all other Winnipeg Jet players combined. Even flying his parents in, and putting them up in 5-star hotels to help Kane out.

It's now clear this strategy backfired, and the Jets should not have babied Kane. I just can't get past Kane no-showing a big game, against a potential playoff rival. Now he has taken his ball, and gone home.

There is a press conference scheduled through his agent at 4:15. I was hoping that Kane would address the issue personally, and apologize for his mistakes, but everything about him leads me to believe he will throw the Winnipeg Jets organization under the bus, and demand a trade as soon as possible.
He has played for 1 team. Same core, same team.

As for taking his ball and going home, the writing is on the wall. If I was him I would do the same thing. You are obviously not wanted in the dressing room anymore so he isn't going to risk playing injured for his team and will get his surgery.
