John Bean: ‘Good to know, son. Years from now, when Ken King drops dead and I'm promoted to his job, I'll make sure to cover up that story when one of your teammates just happens to be playing for my team.’
I don't think so.

I think something like this happened:
One day after the incident in 2018 London Police and a third party of Hockey Canada launched investigations into the assault.
The Police and the private investigators interviewed the majority of the kids from the team. The parents found out, and this was talked about extensively within this group of people.
Flash to 2022. Massive headlines. Canadian parliament involved. 50+ page thread on Calgarypuck.
John Bean: "Son are you sure you weren't involved in this mess?, We also have a player on the team I am CEO of, Mr.Dube. Was he involved in this?"
Look at all the leaks that happen non stop out of Canadian front offices. The NHL is full of gossip.
You really think many people in NHL circles weren't well aware of which players were directly involved in this? Especially someone as close to a direct source as John Bean?
It is kind of outside the bounds of believability to think that the Flames front office didn't have any more info than the public.
I never accused the Flames org of attempting to cover up Dube's involvement, but they are surely guilty of producing a press statement with terrible optics. Someone should have been less careless on that one.
