The mother of a high school hockey player who was sexually abused by former Chicago Blackhawks video coach Bradley Aldrich in 2013 — the man also responsible for sexually abusing former NHL first-round pick Kyle Beach in 2010 — is understandably angry and disappointed with the NHL and commissioner Gary Bettman for his comments regarding her son this past week.
When asked by TSN's Rick Westhead whether the league would cover the family's counseling costs, Bettman responded by saying that he needs "more information."
Aldrich was sentenced to nine months in jail in 2014 for a fourth-degree criminal sexual conduct charge stemming from the acts he perpetrated onto "John Doe 2," as the victim is known in court documents.
