Blackhawks ask court to dismiss lawsuit filed by latest ‘John Doe’
The Chicago Blackhawks this week asked a court to dismiss a negligence lawsuit filed by a former player who alleges he was sexually assaulted during the 2009-10 Stanley Cup season and playoffs by former team video coach Brad Aldrich.
The NHL team says the player took too long to make his claim.
The player alleges that like Kyle Beach, he told then-team mental skills coach Jim Gary about his interactions with Aldrich and that Gary told him he “should move on with his life.”
The Blackhawks allege that if Gary did say that, his comments were “insensitive and inappropriate,” but they “do not constitute extreme and outrageous conduct.”
