Social Media Stir with Melanie Bedard
Things got messier when people started saying Perry was involved with Melanie Bedard, Connor Bedard's mom. Social media, like Reddit and the old Twitter, was full of rumors about them.
The team's GM, Kyle Davidson, shut down the rumors fast. He said no other players or their families were involved, calling the rumors untrue and awful.

Melanie Bedard, at the center of it all, seems to be trying to get away from the drama. She deactivated her Instagram, probably to escape the comments and messages. It's hard to imagine what she's going through.
Insiders and GM Davidson are saying nothing happened between Perry and Melanie Bedard. Perry's actions, whatever they were, seem to be something the Blackhawks want to distance themselves from, especially given the team's history.
