At minimum you remove the video coach from having access to players, you suspend him, conduct an investigation and inform the police about allegations of a rape. None of these necessarily expose you to liability via wrongful dismissal.
To leave a rapist hanging around young men (ie putting them at risk and potential life altering harm) is not a good idea but maybe I’m just new fashioned. If the organization cared about its players it would not leave a rapist to wander around while they fumbled around prognosticating on the validity of the claims due to how ####ing serious they are.
If you think these people were all powerless you are delusional and the worst part about this whole thing is there is absolutely zero chance ownership did not know (and by extension I am thinking the NHL in general). That’s why people are so pissed. It’s so damn obvious this goes deep.
This guys life was destroyed for basically no real good reason. The Blackhawks would have won the cup anyway.
