Winnipeg Jets general manager Kevin Cheveldayoff will not be disciplined for not taking action on sexual assault allegations against former Chicago Blackhawks video coach Brad Aldrich in 2010, as the NHL determined he did not have the authority "to make appropriate organizational decisions relating to this matter."
Commissioner Gary Bettman met with Cheveldayoff on Friday, prior to the NHL's announcement. He concluded based on that conversation and the team's investigation that Cheveldayoff was not responsible for improper decisions made at the time.
"While on some level, it would be easiest to paint everyone with any association to this terrible matter with the same broad brush, I believe that fundamental fairness requires a more in-depth analysis of the role of each person," Bettman said in a statement.
