The NHLPA announced on Friday that its independent review of executive director Donald Fehr’s handling of Kyle Beach’s allegations of sexual abuse against former Blackhawks video coach Brad Aldrich found no “individual wrongdoing or institutional failures of policy or procedure.” Philadelphia law firm Cozen O’Connor handled the review.
The case was originally settled between Beach and the Blackhawks back in December. The incident occurred back in May 2010, in which Beach says Aldrich allegedly threatened Beach with a souvenir baseball bat, then forcibly performed oral sex on him and masturbated on Beach’s back.
