Joel Quenneville meeting Gary Bettman over Blackhawks scandal Thursday

In the wake of the Chicago Blackhawks investigation that revealed they mishandled allegations that a former assistant coach sexually assaulted a player, current Florida Panthers head coach and former Blackhawks head coach Joel Quenneville says he’ll have a private meeting with Gary Bettman to discuss the matter Thursday.

“Tomorrow, I’ll be meeting with Gary Bettman. I look forward to continuing to contribute to the process,” Quenneville told reporters Wednesday morning, adding that he “won’t comment any further until the appropriate time after I meet with the commissioner.”

Bettman announced that he planned to arrange personal meetings with Quenneville and Winnipeg Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff, both of whom were with the team when the allegations were first reported, to discuss their roles in the situation.

Quenneville served as head coach of the Blackhawks from 2008 to 2018 and said in July that he’d “first learned of these allegations through the media earlier this summer” in a statement provided by the Panthers to the Associated Press.

However, the findings of the independent investigation into the Blackhawks’ handling of the situation, conducted by Jenner & Block LLP law firm, contradicted those claims.

According to the report, Quenneville was part of a club meeting to discuss the allegations that then-assistant coach Brad Aldrich had sexually assaulted a player, identified only as John Doe to protect their anonymity, on May 23rd, 2010.

Asked Wednesday whether he still stood by his statement, Quenneville said:

“I do, but I can’t comment on it.”

Quenneville was also asked if he’d held a team meeting in the wake of Tuesday’s Blackhawks investigation findings being made public. He indicated that there had been “several little quick meetings about different subjects,” and acknowledged that the investigation “was addressed.”

Canadians Abroad Roundup: Will Laryea be next Canadian in Premier League?

January was a transformative month for the Canadian men’s national team. Wins in Honduras and at home to the U.S. – coupled with the El Salvador road victory on Feb. 2 – all but guaranteed its qualification for the 2022 World Cup. Fans could start monitoring flights to Doha with relative comfort. An arguably superior development transpired that month, too. Nine Canadian-eligible players secured loans or permanent transfers to new clubs in the transfer window. Many of those moves were steps up in terms of the quality and size of the respective teams. For instance, Stephen Eustaquio joined Porto on loan with an option to buy from Pacos de Ferreira. Now he’s transitioned from mid-table obscurity to a league title and into the Champions League, provided reports are correct and he joins the Dragoes permanently. Ike Ugbo was loaned to Troyes in Ligue 1 from Genk, an admittedly big club in Belgium with a rich history. But moving to a top-five European league, especially to a club under t...

Signs Of Cervical Cancer All Woman Should Know

Cervical or cervix malignancy can be risky in women. Though the statistics of this disease are shocking, if diagnosed early it can be treated. Cervical malignancy is due to the highly infectious HPV or human papillomavirus.  It is sexually transmitted and exists in different forms. A HPV infection may disappear without treatment or develop to an abnormal cell development that could cause cervical cancer. 7 Signs of Cervical Cancer Continuous pain in the legs, hips or back The swelling in the cervix may compress other organs. This may make it difficult for blood flow in the veins and may prevent blood from reaching the pelvis and legs, thus pain and swelling in the legs.
