I know this has been said but I still cannot get over how these individuals still have jobs. Gary, Donald, Joel, Kevin..etc.
I work for a large oil and gas company and if something like this happened at my workplace, heads would roll no matter their position or industry status.
It is not like they didn't have protocols and practices in place to deal with this, this is an instance where they refuted and ignored the situation. Turned a blind eye and then discredited the victim even further. I cannot even begin to understand how Mr. Beech felt. Now I know why his career fell to pieces, I didn't quite get that when he was trying to break into the NHL. He was a surefire Junior player in the WHL when I was growing up.
It has been hard for me, especially because I am someone who is exploring their law career and to be an advocate for justice/integrity to cheer for anything NHL related. This has really darkened my perspective on what the NHL is or what the NHL claims to be doing to drive change. Factor in all of the other racism events and other instances (Montreal 1st Rounder). Heck even the Eichel situation is egregious, holding the player's health ransom. WHAT in the F??
I also appreciate the perspective on here, a lot of sound individuals with the right morals/standards. Keep on fighting the good fight ladies and gentlemen.
