bunnyman666 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Will Coach Q lose his job in Fla? I think he would certainly be gone if he were still in Chicago. Having practised in an NHL practise facility and knowing the staff very well, a pin doesn’t drop without everyone knowing. I got the lowdown on one scandalous happening that resulted in a player going to prison, so I would almost bet the farm Q knew. It’s certainly a shame when a young person has that happen; more of a super low when management tries to cover it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Teal Terror Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I think it will be more a case of it being put on the person(s) involved, as opposed to the organisation. But, depending on the level of backlash, it could affect the organisation, if not the league. Circumstances dependant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Blackhawks couldn’t separate themselves from Stanley Bowman quickly enough, it appears. Coach Q could either end up unscathed or blackballed by the league.

Scythe Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 The report is out leading up to and including the incident for anyone to read. I swear I don't know why Beach let it go so far. He should've slammed this guys head into the wall or floor whichever was closer. Is this Aldrich some kind of master manipulator or what? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makes you wonder doesn’t it? Why after all this time it all comes to light. I guess peer pressure is a bitch, he probably felt threatened if not actually, if he did speak up. Whose to say what was said behind closed doors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess peer pressure is a bitch, he probably felt threatened if not actually, if he did speak up. Whose to say what was said behind closed doors. All of that is addressed in the report and in the interview Beach did with TSN the other night. In short: 1) He was a 20-year-old kid when this occurred just trying to make an NHL team. Having an abusive coach say "keep this quiet or I'll ruin your career" is very scary. 2) He did tell people when it happened. Then it got covered up. He came sued the organization after that same coach bounced around and eventually got convicted for assaulting a 16-year-old high school player. He said he felt responsible (even though he isn't and it's all on Aldrich and the organizations that empowered/covered up for him) for it happening to that kid, too. 3) Aldrich was an assistant(?) video coach - who was going to miss him if he got fired by the Blackhawks organization for this abuse? Why protect him at all?? He wasn't crucial to the organization's success. I don't understand how their conclusion of "not wanting a distraction during a potential cup run" somehow comes to "firing this asshole is a distraction, but having him around abusing a player isn't" 4) As was made clear in the report, they all knew - Bowman, Q, etc. When you're bringing marketing folks into the meeting to discuss what should happen when a coach has abused, that's a pretty clear sign the end result is going to be sweeping it under the rug. Basically, everyone involved should resign/be fired if they won't, Coach Q included. Also, read this article about it; the author has done incredible reporting on various sexual assualt scandals from USA gymnastics to NCAA football, so she knows what she is writing about: https://defector.com/there-will-be-more-john-does/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scythe Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 I'm just sick of hearing these stories from women's gymnastics to NHL hockey player. The said assaulting individual always seems to get away with it during the commission of the crime. Like the drunk driver that never seems to die. Would be nice to hear a different outcome sometime.

seagoal Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Did anything describing what "it" was get released yet? I've seen the comments from Beach and uses of the words "assault" and "victim." And I of course will not speculate about that or discredit any of that, but there is a difference between say sexual assault and sexual harassment. For example, touching someone is different than saying "I want to touch you." I have not yet seen any details about what "it" was in this sense.

So there's abuse of power/authority issues and consent issues all at play. So many pieces to this puzzle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bunnyman666 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Looks pretty damning for Aldrich, et. al. Like I had suspected, a pin doesn’t drop in a pro sports organisation without everyone knowing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WillyGrips13 Posted October 28, 2021 Share Posted October 28, 2021 Maddening that this type of thing is enabled by people in power time and time again. Clearly our culture hasn’t come to grips with how to deal with these incidents IMMEDIATELY AFTER THEY OCCUR. The Blackhawks inaction (or willful cover-up really) not only damaged Beach’s life further, but allowed a younger boy to be abused later. Unforgivable.
