- Blackhawks GM resigns, team fined after sexual assault probe
- NHL hits club with $2m fine for failure to respond to allegations
- Stan Bowman was also GM of USA men’s Olympic hockey team
The Chicago Blackhawks mishandled allegations that an assistant coach sexually assaulted a player during the team’s Stanley Cup run in 2010, according to an investigation commissioned by the franchise that cast a shadow over the NHL on Tuesday.
Stan Bowman, the general manager and president of hockey operations, resigned in the wake of the findings by an outside law firm, and the NHL fined the team $2 million for “the organization’s inadequate internal procedures and insufficient and untimely response”. Al MacIsaac, one of the team’s top hockey executives, also is out.
