On May 8 or 9, 2010, John Doe had a sexual encounter with Brad Aldrich. The Chicago Blackhawks were in the midst of the NHL playoffs and ultimately won the Stanley Cup for the first time since 1961. John Doe was a twenty-year-old hockey player for the Blackhawks’ minor league affiliate team. He was called up to Chicago during the 2010 playoffs to serve as a “Black Ace,” a prospect player who could be available to play for the Blackhawks if needed. Brad Aldrich was the Blackhawks’ twenty-seven-year-old video coach in his second full year in the job. Aldrich was responsible for cutting video clips of game footage for the other Blackhawks’ coaches
On May 7, 2021, a hockey player formerly affiliated with the Blackhawks filed a lawsuit against the team. The player, John Doe, alleged that in May 2010, he was sexually assaulted by the then-video coach for the Blackhawks. John Doe further alleged that the Blackhawks were made aware of the alleged assault soon after it occurred and failed to act to address the assault. In late June 2021, Jenner & Block LLP (“Jenner & Block”) was hired by the Blackhawks to conduct an independent investigation. Over the course of four months, they investigated the conduct of the former video coach, Brad Aldrich, in and around May 2010; the extent to which individuals affiliated with the Blackhawks, including those in senior management, knew about Aldrich’s conduct in May 2010, and when and how those individuals learned about the conduct; and when and how individuals affiliated with the Blackhawks, including those in senior management, responded to the information they learned about Aldrich’s conduct in May 2010.
Stan Bowman stepped down as GM of the Chicago Blackhawks. Al MacIsaac stepped down as Senior Vice President of Hockey Operations. Joel Quenneville remains head coach of the Florida Panthers. Kevin Cheveldayoff remains GM of the Winnipeg Jets.
