I watched this twice as I got so pissed the first time and really feel for the young man. As to the league I like to watch, the executives in charge and others they all need to be shot into the sun.
As Kyle Beach mentioned Sheldon Kennedy I would like to see the league to immediately, not next summer, or after another investigation, to mandate each team put $5-10 million into a fund and have Sheldon Kennedy look after it, get together with Beach and others and design a program to help people and to identify how to fix it. This isn't just a Blackhawks problem, this is a league problem. So far the league response has been zero and unacceptable.
The NHL players need to dissolve their union today and restructure it. I have raged against the NHLPA for years and this just further cements my hate for that association.
Sorry for my rant, it just pisses me off to see people in positions of power taking advantage of young people (or people without an avenue to fight back) to build their own companies into their own little vanity projects (hold off to win a cup or make an extra million dollars).
All the best Kyle Beach.
