RB: "I'd rather not get into it. We dealt with it internally, and everything has been fine since."
I suspect that this is a likely approximation for how vetting is conducted in the NHL. Hopefully, this changes.

If you call my employer about a reference, should they disclose to you the details of an HR matter for which I was disciplined? Assuming no laws were broken etc. What if some of what happened was subject to interpretation and you begin providing your own opinion on things?
I get that pro sports are different and they are all franchises of the same league. But this still seems like a tricky thing.
