Stan Bowman 'steps aside' after findings released in Blackhawks sexual assault scandal

Results from the investigation into allegations that members of the Chicago Blackhawks management team failed to act after an inappropriate incident between a member of the coaching staff and player has resulted in several departures from the organization.

General manager Stan Bowman, senior vice president of hockey operations Al MacIsaac and other members of the 2010 Stanley Cup management team will no longer work for the organization following the results of an independent investigation released Tuesday.

The Jenner & Block investigation found that Bowman, MacIsaac, former president John McDonough, former executive vice president Jay Blunk, former assistant general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff, and former head coach Joel Quenneville met to discuss the allegations against former video coach Bradley Aldrich after they were informed internally, and that no action was taken until three weeks after the meeting — and after the Blackhawks won their first championship in decades — when McDonough reported the allegations to human resources.
