Chicago Blackhawks owner Rocky Wirtz shut down questions about fallout surrounding the Kyle Beach scandal that has embroiled the organization for much of the last year.
During a town hall with fans on Wednesday, one reporter asked the assembled panel, which include Wirtz and Blackhawks' CEO Danny Wirtz, about how Chicago intended to avoid any power imbalances between players and coaches in the future, like the one Beach negatively endured in 2010.
Beach, a former first-round pick by the Blackhawks in 2008, filed a lawsuit in May 2021 against Chicago alleging a prolonged sexual assault by the team's former video coach, Brad Aldrich, back in 2010.
