Many hockey fans took to social media to vent their frustration with the National League draft lottery, leading up to the #1 Chicago Blackhawks talk in June, regarding the unfortunate case of Kyle Beach.
Some said they were sorry the Bettman Tour was rewarding this organization for its questionable handling of a sexual assault case within its ranks. In recent years, a scandal broke out within the team when it was publicly revealed that the members of the “Hawks” were going to turn a blind eye to the deplorable situation in their ranks.
During the 2010 playoffs, the year the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup, team player Kyle Beach was sexually assaulted by video coach Brad Aldrich. And only a decade later he broke the silence.
After this shockwave, General Manager Stan Bowman and Head Coach Joel Quenneville (then with the Florida Panthers) lost their jobs.
After winning the lottery, the Blackhawks must pick Regina Bats forward Conor Bedard first. Netizens considered that Chicago simply should not have the right to speak in the first round this year.
After settling the dispute with Beach out of court, the Blackhawks were fined $2 million by the National League in December 2021.
