She is adamant that Dillon is 100% innocent. Wasn't in the room, wasn't aware of what happened, and that all of this will come out. Also stated that Dillon believes he will come back to the NHL, but would play for "anyone but the Flames" given how it was handled.
Orange Julius type stuff, and it's completely possible this "source" was fed lies as well, but I thought it was worthy of posting. I also likely butchered the story a bit, but what I'm trying to portray is that their camp believes he is 100% innocent.

Oh my god, if that is true, give me a break Dillon. The Flames let him play right up until the eve of the charges when he asked for a leave of absence. Imagine if the Flames were the only team to bring back one of the players being charged and let him play before the trial.
Anyway, I do hope it's true because fewer rapists is always better than more rapists. I assume the people being charged were visually identified by the victim though and there is some kind of corroborating evidence. I recall reading that there were a couple of other players who acted inappropriately, but fell short of the evidence required for charges, yet somehow Dube made the cut.
Also, this is exactly what you would expect him to tell his girlfriend. Telling them you raped someone is a harder conversation for sure.
