Some push back, including from Elliotte Friedman:

One of the biggest differences between the Chicago Blackhawks’ Block & Jenner report and this NHLPA version (commissioned to the law firm Cozen O’Connor) is the testimony of Dr. Brian Shaw.
Shaw, a program administrator for the NHL/NHLPA Player Assistance Program, told Blackhawk investigators he had no records or recollection of meeting with Beach.
This time around, it is different.

"Specifically, Dr. Shaw remembered that Beach said he had not gone to the police, but had reported the assault within the Blackhawks organization. Dr. Shaw recalled that Beach wanted ‘someone’ to contact USA Hockey and tell them what he had experienced; Beach was concerned that USA Hockey needed to know about it because he had learned that Aldrich was now working there. Dr. Shaw explained that Beach was very upset during this conversation; accordingly, Dr. Shaw sought to reassure him by telling him words to the effect that ‘someone’ or ‘they’ would ‘handle’ or ‘take care of’ contacting USA Hockey. Dr. Shaw also emphasized that he asked several times whether Beach wanted a referral for treatment or therapy, and that each time Beach declined that offer.
"Accordingly, Dr. Shaw never opened a file for Beach. Dr. Shaw explained to us that he assumed that either Gurney or someone at the NHLPA would be the one to ‘handle’ contacting USA Hockey. He offered assurances to Beach that he was sure USA Hockey would be contacted only to address Beach’s obvious distress about getting the word out about Aldrich. But he never believed that he was offering to be the person to contact USA Hockey about Aldrich on Beach’s behalf, nor did he think that he made such a suggestion to Beach. Indeed, Dr. Shaw observed to us that he does not know anyone affiliated with USA Hockey.”

There is dispute between Fehr, agent Ross Gurney (who represented Beach) and agent Joe Resnick (who formerly represented Black Ace 1). Some of it is hard to believe, quite frankly. I certainly have my suspicions, but that’s “he said, she said,” and difficult to prove.
