And where are all the NHL higher ups? Nevermind the players.

In fact one could make a strong argument that the old boys club at TSN who have been covering World Juniors for literally decades sure have been quiet about it all. Also took them forever to admit something was going on.

Without Rick Westhead literally beating down doors on this story, who knows if it ever would have come to light.

And I'm sure we agree that this is systemic already, and considering the stories we have heard about what goes on in locker rooms, hazing events, etc....how is the NHL so quiet about this? It should be easy to understand how all this #### does nothing to encourage more people to play hockey, or more parents to get their kids into minor hockey.

Pathetic.
