I’m just not someone that searches for blood. I cried watching the interview with Beach yesterday. I lead and deal with situations through empathy and understanding.

Children were molested as a result of the lie. True empathy for them requires justice for the people who enabled it.

Aldrich has been dealt with in accordance with our legal system.
The majority of the men involved in allowing this happening have been removed from their positions.
We have yet to see what the other repercussions are.
After he molested unknown numbers of children because of the greed and cowardice of people who should have stopped him.

And that happened. And like Beach said now it is time to move forward and try and make sure this doesn’t happen again and to be an advocate.

Being allowed to resign is not enough. And they were not the only ones culpable. Lives were ruined. Justice and consequences are the only things that will deter people like Aldrich. He was in the perfect organization as it turned out.

So you want blood. I’m not someone that cares for it. I imagine knowing you have to live with letting this happen is enough.

One of the ways we advocate for victims is by removing people with poor character from leadership positions. To me, everything is one the table for Toews et al. What he said yesterday was damning. He has no idea what a good leader is and has no business being the captain of an NHL team. People who fail morally should be educated and receive empathy yes. They should also do so from a position of lesser prominence and responsibility.

Haha- sorry for laughing but man this is some outright BS
Just say "my attorney advised me to not comment and I cannot take anymore questions regarding this matter"
People would have more respect for you.
Out for blood? No, I want justice and consequences. ‘Living with what they did’ is not enough to deter people like Aldrich.

Aldrich was charged with sexual assault. It sucks that he got away with what happened, but part of that is on Beach not going to the authorities if we want to get down to the gritty.
The organization only has so much power here.
Dude, you ghost edited that? Look in the dictionary for the term captain. It does not say anything like what you wrote. Literally no one in this game thinks an NHL captain is an ambiguous role with no real definition.

Ghost editing? God, you guys are crazy on this forum. I am posting and correcting my posts to include the appropriate information in real-time.
In terms of the circumstances that we are talking about Toews is not a leader. He is the same level of employee as Beach.

I don’t think you see this much vitriol towards Toews in particular if hockey’s media hadn’t spent a decade talking about what a selfless amazing leader he is.
In reality he seems to be just another self serving coward.

Ok, I’m done. The organization had absolute power to stop this predator and not only did they fail to do so, they enabled his future child predation by allowing him to resign and writing him a positive review after he did. It doesn’t “suck that he got away with it.” That is a horrifically passive revision of what happened. It isn’t something that just happened. They literally buried it so they could play hockey and in that time an intern was also sexually harassed. I have no idea how things work in your world but I don’t want to live in one where cowardice and lack of wisdom and courage to administer justice is disguised as empathy.

Also, I’m not surprised to see it here given the Crosby and Toews connection which is why I find it disgusting frankly.

Totally unrelated, but these little drawings are adorable and made me smile. I needed this.

I view this situation as I would an HR situation and that is you prove and deal with things as they can be substantiated. Sexual harassment / assault is really easy to be black and white until you are the one facing the allegations or handling the situation.
You want this to be a movie and if they had just done one thing different or Captain Toews had been the hero he is it would’ve stopped. Predators exist and will get away with things until they are caught and will only be punished when the authorities get involved.

No, you do not get to handwave away what they did. They did not “handle” anything. They buried the incident so they could play hockey. And yes, lying and covering up a sexual assault is black and white.
