Blackhawks organization named in multiple lawsuits detailing sexual assault allegations

Over the last month, the Blackhawks have been named in two lawsuits which include sexual assault allegations against former video coach Brad Aldrich, who was with the team from 2008 to 2010.

It started in mid-May, when an unnamed former player from the ‘09-10 Blackhawks team that won the Stanley Cup filed a lawsuit against the franchise, alleging that he was sexually assaulted by Aldrich. The details of the allegation are available in this article from Chicago radio station WBEZ, (a warning here that the article goes into more explicit detail of the assault allegations which may be disturbing to some) the first outlet to report on the lawsuit.
