I agree the NHL should have done its own investigation post-statement of claim. They still should, though the one that was done was very good.

He said that he also told his parents shortly after, who only took it as far as Beach was willing to at the time. He was still chasing his NHL dream and they figured that going next level would have killed that dream. Which it would have, no doubt.
Don't get me wrong, I am not at all saying they should have done more either. The power imbalance organizations have over people is staggering. People are at the mercy of that power imbalance, like Beach and by extension, his parents, are just not in a position to do much without sacrificing everything. It's a lot to put on the victims, and why the Blackhawks senior staff with all the power had to do more.
