Were the homophobic slurs done infront of the players mentioned here in training camp?
Were they in ear shot at those moments or made aware of them?

If so, I'm fully in agreement they should have done more but do you know that's even the case?

Especially first round picks…

Beach was pretty clear - the whole team knew, based on the interactions.

This irks me so much because I am a dad who has a son in hockey. I can’t image something like this happening to him by a person in authority and then have his teammates make fun of him afterwards.

The players are getting a free pass here and should shoulder some of the consequences here.

My understanding was that Beach was a black ace during the team's 2010 run and that the taunting took place during that period - i.e. right after the incident occurred. If it also took place at the AHL level, that would seem to support his contention that the story was known throughout the entire organization, which is to say that the players in question knew, didn't do anything about it, and lied about what they knew.

There's no way to know for sure what these guys knew and when, that's true. They have throughout given me the impression of people whose agents have told them "Whether you did or not, for the sake of your career, say you didn't know anything about it and didn't hear until later."
