Former Blackhawks assistant coach John Torchetti corroborated multiple reports that team leadership decided not to call the sex crimes division of the Chicago Police after two players accused then-video coach Bradley Aldrich of sexual assault during the 2010 Stanley Cup playoffs.
Torchetti, who was an assistant to head coach Joel Quenneville from 2007 to 2010, told TSN's Rick Westhead he recalls skills coach Paul Vincent relaying what two players had told him about Aldrich's alleged abuse. Torchetti said Vincent, a former Massachusetts police officer, told him of the May 17, 2010, meeting with the front office at a hotel in San Jose, California.
