The Detroit Red Wings have emphasized support systems this week in light of the appalling news surrounding the Chicago Blackhawks.
A report detailing allegations by a Chicago Blackhawks player of being sexually assaulted by a video coach during the 2010 playoffs revealed that numerous members of the organization’s front office at the time were informed of the assault but chose to focus on the playoffs. Blackhawks general manager Stan Bowman, the son of former Wings coach Scotty Bowman, resigned Tuesday. Joel Quenneville, who coached the Blackhawks at the time, resigned from his position as coach of the Florida Panthers Thursday.
