The Chicago Blackhawks fired head athletic trainer D.J. Jones from their AHL affiliate, the Rockford IceHogs, in November following an investigation into allegations of sexual harassment from 2014.
Emily Kaplan and Jesse Rogers of ESPN reported a member of the IceHogs ice crew came forward with the allegations in October when the organization was under the spotlight for how it handled sexual assault allegations with the release of a report from the law firm Jenner & Block.
The Blackhawks released a statement on Jones' firing:
"Under our new leadership, we have made it crystal clear that nothing is more important than the safety and well-being of our players and employees, and there is a zero-tolerance policy for any violation of our standards of conduct in our organization.
