Jarrod Skalde accuses Penguins of wrongful termination, after he reported sexual assault

TSN.ca broke a story about a lawsuit fired by former Wilkes-Barre Penguins assistant coach Jarred Skalde filed against the Penguins in the United States District Court. It accuses the Penguins of violating the Pennsylvania’s whistleblower laws and requested damages for physical and emotional pain, mental suffering and loss of income. A financial amount was not specified.

As TSN reported (warning: in fairly graphic detail), there was an alleged sexual assault in November 2018 involving former WB/S head coach Clark Donatelli and Skalde’s wife, Erin. (Erin told TSN that she supported having her name published and details of her allegations reported).
