If my boss was found to have abused employees in her previous job, she’d be canned immediately. There would likely be some kind of legal repercussions as well. Why does sports get a pass?

Should the people who were the abusers get the opportunity to change in these cases? Take things like OHS. If OHS laws change as a result of an injury you dont retroactively go back and fine people who weren’t previously obeying the new law. Now the counter to that would be kicking your employees has always been illegal which while true it really depends on how ingrained the behaviour was.
If these incidents led to complaints that were covered up then that is far worse than this was how most NHL coaches behaved. If it remains at 4 or 5 current and former coaches then one could say they crossed the line and should be gone but if we are talking all 100 or so coaches in the NHL and another 100 in the AHL then you can’t get rid of them all and the focus should be going forward.
