Honest question. If he were to issue an apology tomorrow, would that do it? Would he then be allowed to pursue a hockey career, in your view? Or would you then say, "well, that apology isn't sincere, he's only offering it because of all the media scrutiny and pressure on the team not to sign him"?
I'm actually curious.

He has an opportunity, through his actions to make the situation better. Anyone can issue a quick apology, but the point of the apology is not to please the masses
but to allow the victim to begin to experience some healing and vindication from the deep humiliation and hurt that was caused. As well the apology is just one step, Obviously there is not enough from this individuals behavior that meets an acceptable organizational standards.
In other words not only should he apologize but he is going to have to earn back that trust if given an opportunity. He is likely going to be hearing from organizations all over the world asking what he plans to do to make things right. Very good opportunity here if he can recognize the stepping stone and take it!
