CHICAGO -- Blackhawks star Patrick Kane said Friday he has participated in the investigation into allegations that a then-assistant coach sexually assaulted two players in 2010, adding that he did not know anything happened at the time.
"Obviously very serious allegations, and everyone knows that," Kane said at the annual NHL/NHLPA preseason player media tour. "But I will say that I didn't know anything about it at the time and did participate with the investigation."
Kane's comments were his first since the allegations came to light. The Blackhawks launched the investigation led by a former federal prosecutor and pledged to release the findings.
