The Boston Bruins have retained former U.S. Attorney General Loretta Lynch to conduct an independent review of their player-vetting process after they signed prospect Mitchell Miller and then parted ways with him two days later amid intense backlash.
The Bruins announced on Tuesday that Lynch, of the law firm of Paul, Weiss, Rifkind, Wharton & Garrison, will "conduct an independent review of our player-vetting process" and ensure that "our process going forward reflects our core values."
Boston said it will fully cooperate with the review and will publicly disclose the results upon its completion.
"The Boston Bruins strive every day to live our values and meet the high standards our associates, fans and community have come to expect," the Bruins said in a statement released Tuesday.
