Kyle Beach: NHLPA Dr. Brian Shaw “told me he would handle it and make sure that Team USA was aware that Brad Aldrich is a sexual predator. After that one conversation, the NHLPA cut me loose. I never heard from them again.”
During the 2011 Women’s U18 championships in Stockholm, Kyle Beacn's agent says he phoned NHLPA ED Don Fehr with the warning that Kyle had allegedly been sexually abused by Brad Aldrich, who was working with Team USA at the tournament.
Kyle Beach said that if Don Fehr and Dr. Brian Shaw had done “what they are supposed to do, then that teenaged boy in Michigan probably does not get sexually assaulted."
Don Fehr will meet with Oilers players tonight in Vancouver, part of his scheduled fall tour.
Some Oilers players talking to their agents about how to frame questions for Fehr in face of allegations.
Fehr may face direct questions about whether he should continue to lead union.

The HDA has also made several other requests of the NHL, among them that team owners offer NHL rinks to be used as polling stations for the upcoming US election.
The HDA on July 14 provided the NHL with a proposed pledge. It wants the NHL to commit to diversifying NHL & team staff and suppliers.
“Black suppliers” should deliver at least 10% of NHL procurement expenditure by 2020-21 season, the HDA says.
The HDA also wants the NHL to be fully transparent about “all information related to the policies, targets and commitments” related to the hiring of employees who are visible minorities.

Gary Bettman begins testimony explaining moves NHL has taken to make game safer.
He says NHL was first league in 1997 to introduce mandatory neurological baseline testing for players.
Also says NHL was first pro league to adopt league-wide electronic medical records system.
Bettman says the NHL’s concussion spotter system includes one spotter watching players for visible signs of concussion from NHL office while a second spotter watches from the arena stands.

(NHL does not identify spotters and the NHLPA refuses to b/c they are league employees.)
Bettman talks about NHL’s return to play protocols and says team doctors have the ability to clear players to return to games.
(At least one NHL team doctor has been concerned about this, claiming some team docs employ “situational ethics.”)
