Blackhawks' Jonathan Toews on Kyle Beach Report: Bowman, MacIsaac 'Good People'

Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews defended former team executives Stan Bowman and Al MacIsaac as "good people" despite both stepping down from their positions after the release of a report on the team's response to former player Kyle Beach accusing then-assistant coach Brad Aldrich of sexual assault in 2010.

"Make any argument you want, they’re not directly complicit in the activities that happened," Toews told reporters Wednesday. "It’s not up to me to comment on whether they would like to deal with it differently or not. I just know them as people and I’ve had a relationship and friendship with them for a long time as being part of the Blackhawks family.
