I'm disappointed in this decision. Fact is that Cheveldayoff knew and did nothing. Maybe he assumed that something was done? Not sure how he could have assumed that with Aldrich raising the cup.
I would have liked to see him get disciplined here if for no other reason than for the NHL to ensure that the 'code of silence' gets blown wide-open in the future. I want people in the future to actually be scared of NOT reporting these monsters and allowing this kind of abhorrent conduct to continue.
There were at least 2 additional individuals who were subsequently 'destroyed' by Aldrich because a bunch of idiots chose to remain silent after Kyle bravely notified the organization, and that really makes me both angry and sad.
I think the NHL got it wrong here with Cheveldayoff. I would have liked to have seen everyone involved in keeping this quiet disciplined.
