CHICAGO — Chicago Blackhawks Chairman Rocky Wirtz expressed regret for his outburst and argumentative answers about the 2010 sexual assault scandal during Wednesday’s town hall at the United Center.
Wirtz, along with son and CEO Danny Wirtz and president of business operations Jaime Faulkner, fielded a range of questions about the Hawks’ present and future during the session.
But when asked about how the team will ensure there never will be a repeat of what allegedly happened to former prospect Kyle Beach — who in December reached a confidential settlement with the Hawks over his negligence lawsuit for suppressing his complaint against then-video coach Brad Aldrich — Rocky Wirtz became irate.
