Montreal Canadiens general manager Marc Bergevin says he was unaware of sexual assault allegations against a Chicago Blackhawks assistant coach during his time with the club.
An unidentified former Blackhawks player has alleged in a lawsuit against the team that then-assistant coach Bradley Aldrich sexually assaulted him in 2010 during a playoff run to a Stanley Cup title and that the team did nothing after he informed a now-retired employee.
Bergevin was the Blackhawks' director of pro personnel at the time.
"It came out recently. There was a meeting that I heard that was done in Chicago. I was not part of any meeting, and I was not part of any decision based on that," Bergevin said Sunday before the Canadiens travelled to Tampa, Fla., for Game 1 of the Stanley Cup final.
"And I was not aware of anything going on at the time. So you can go on the record with that."

Bergevin isn't the only former member of the Blackhawks' management team who could be feeling the heat from the fallout of this. Kevin Cheveldayoff was Chicago's AGM in 2010.
