Odd. Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 Perhaps there needs to be more pressure from the media. At this point NHL is harbouring and allowing sexual predators to make millions of dollars. 1 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Almost certainly (considering the long delay in releasing names) there’s at least one bee big named player who is important to one team’s revenues. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provost Posted October 6, 2023 Share Posted October 6, 2023 (edited) This is frankly getting silly. They know all the who, what, where, and how by now. They will have consulted all the lawyers about penalties, possible civil litigation, etc. Why not release it in the middle of summer so the story dies down before the season and affected teams can adjust their rosters. There are absolutely players with a a cloud over them who didn’t do anything, and there are players on the ice for NHL teams who did do something. If they are waiting for charges to be laid, that is chicken shit and doesn’t have any basis in labour law. Criminal convictions need to be proven “beyond a reasonable doubt” and prosecutors won’t pursue cases without a significant likelihood of conviction. in civil courts and labour relations, you only need to prove something “on the balance of probabilities”, meaning it is slightly more likely that it happened than didn’t happen. That difference is because the penalties are vastly different. If you are just “probably” a rapist, throwing you in jail isn’t how the system works. It is designed to let a lot of guiltily people free to ensure it doesn’t convict an innocent person. That is a feature of the system and not a bug. If you are “probably” a rapist, it is certainly appropriate and reasonable for an employer to suspend you or terminate your contract. You aren’t losing your civil liberties or all the fallout a criminal conviction gets you. Edited October 6, 2023 by Provost 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guntrix Posted October 13, 2023 Share Posted October 13, 2023 Refraining from publishing the names in order to avoid ruining a big-name player’s career would really darken the stain. Just when you think Hockey Canada can’t get any lower, they really out-do themselves. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t want to get myself accused of slander but there’s several players with considerable NHL experience, including one big-name defenseman who now plays on the Avalanche.

If the police have not released any names why would Hockey Canada? I can't imagine the shit storm that would happen if Hockey Canada released names of players they thought were involved only for the police report to clear those named players.

They're going to cover this up until every player involved has retired from old age More like until the players can no longer be prosecuted - ie. after they die. Speaking of which, I wonder if any members of the media have filed for ATIP release of information related to Hockey Canada and their files in relation to this (and other allegations)?

Kage17 Posted November 15, 2023 Share Posted November 15, 2023 On 9/23/2023 at 10:35 PM, Jeremy Hronek said: The NHL is a corrupt and garbage league. As a Canucks fan that watched the Canucks get constantly screwed by the refs between 2009 and 2013 (and even 2015 was quite fishy with Ferland allowing to perform actions that would have been called charging, boarding, and roughing in most instances), I have no reason but to assume that the NHL is very corrupt. Do you think Bedard going to Chicago is just coincidence? Lafrenniere to NYR? So yeah......I'm not surprised at all that the league is trying to cover up 2018. I only follow the NHL because of the Canucks, but my passion for the sport isn't anywhere near what it was 10-15 years ago. I feel exactly the same. NHL and all professional sports has changed from sports to pure business and greed. NHL is 100% managed for profit, which is why No Canadian team has won a cup in 30 years. The Canucks were by far the best team in 2011 and once they went up 2-0 on Boston the NHL decided to change the rules to better suit a bigger more physical Bruins team. I still love watching the Canucks and cheer them on but I do so now knowing full well that in the end they will lose. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(see the Blackhawks) They even gifted them Bedard after punishing Arizona with no first round pick for breaking 'Covid protocol' and punishing the Canucks multiple times with things like the Luongo cap penalty. Chicago paid no price even though they admitted they did it by firing every one involved. They are being careful bringing Patrick Kane back because every one knows what a POS he is. The Canucks are the only thing bringing me back to this league while they are always trying to screw them over. If it wasn't for the team they have this year, it would be my last after following them for 40 + years, because of the league, not the Canucks. I still fully expect them to get the shitty end of the stick come playoff time, when haven't they? 4 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, the question becomes are the prosecutors in London going to file charges or not? The London police most likely referred all of their evidence already to crown counsel and probably recommended charges. However, it is up to crown counsel to actually file charges... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slegr Posted November 25, 2023 Share Posted November 25, 2023 Eight players on that team who allegedly assaulted a woman. For some reason I’ve got this feeling one is Cale Makar. If his name is among the eight, what will that mean for him? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
