A second former player has sued the Chicago Blackhawks, claiming they covered up sexual assault allegations leveled against video coach Brad Aldrich in 2010.
The lawsuit, which was filed on Thursday in Cook County (Illinois) Circuit Court, cites 15 counts of negligence, and claims that Aldrich "groomed, harassed, threatened, and assaulted" the player, who is remaining anonymous as John Doe. In a news conference Monday, Doe's lawyer, Antonio Romanucci of Romanucci & Blandin, claimed the Blackhawks "allowed and perpetuated the conduct, and placed winning over the health and welfare of its players.
