Wow that seems fast
I suppose the penalty for sweeping sexual assault under the rug is a 2 year vacation.
That should tell you how serious Bettman and the owner's group take rape charges against staff.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The NHL lifted its ban on longtime coach Joel Quenneville and executives Stan Bowman and Al MacIsaac on Monday, clearing the way for their return to the league more than two years after they were punished in the fallout from the Chicago's NHL team sexual assault scandal.
"For more than the last two and a half years, these individuals have been ineligible to work for any NHL team as a result of their inadequate response upon being informed in 2010 of allegations that [Chicago] player Kyle Beach had been assaulted by the club's video coach," the league said, "While it is clear that, at the time, their responses were unacceptable, each of these three individuals ... has acknowledged that and used his time away from the game to engage in activities which not only demonstrate sincere remorse for what happened, but also evidence greater awareness of the responsibilities that all NHL personnel have, particularly personnel who are in positions of leadership."
Bowman, Chicago's general manager and hockey operations president, left his job as did top team executive MacIsaac.
The fallout included $2 million fine of Chicago's NHL team by the league.
Bowman, MacIsaac and Quenneville can sign contracts with an NHL team after July 10.
The league said each "has made significant strides in personal improvement by participating in myriad programs, many of which focused on the imperative of responding in effective and meaningful ways to address alleged acts of abuse."
The original article contains 334 words, the summary contains 240 words. Saved 28%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
A two year employment ban seems like a fairly strong message to the rest of the league that this fiasco cannot happen again. I’m okay with it.
