This will eventually come out and haunt not only the perpetrators, but every single person who helped to hide this crime.
I hope every single person who was in a position of power and knew about it (which is basically everyone?) gets terminated from their current job and gets permanently banned from sports in North America at any level.
Oh, and FU Toews and everyone else who knew and either stood by and did nothing, or tormented Kyle. Hope all of you get incessantly booed at every arena you ever play in until you are embarrassed enough to quit hockey.
Maybe this post is a bit over-the-top, but I still remember clear as day when Sheldon Kennedy came forward and told the world what happened to him. He seemed to have so much push-back, and screamed for help that barely came, even calling out other players who were abused not to share their own personal stories, but just to corroborate his. He opened that window into that dark room where the monsters hid, and a couple of decades later it sure felt like everyone in hockey was in agreement that monsters have no place in the game any longer. That under no circumstances, would a monster be allowed the freedom to be a monster, and that the entire fraternity would all shine lights exposing them for what they were.
I hope everyone involved in keeping this quiet is banished from the game forever.

Yup. If the perpetrators and their protectors want to threaten a kids career to cover sexual assaults up (which seems to be the go-to move for these sick ####s), then the public can take their legacy away. Set the standard of accountability at the top where it hurts the ego maniacs the most. Get the #### out.
