"As the Chicago Blackhawks continue to try and ignore the sexual abuse allegations against them big pieces of the story are leaking out. Some people don't appreciate the wall of silence that has been created by the Blackhawks organization. One person who's speaking up is former Hawks' defenseman Nick Boynton. Boynton was on a Zoom call recently with the lawyers hired by the franchise and he revealed he was totally honest and called out players for their silence. «They asked me who knew and I gave them names, basically everybody on the team,» Boynton told TSN in an interview on Wednesday. «I said everybody f---ing knew about it. I said you can talk to the coaches. …I said talk to Torch [former assistant coach John Torchetti]. I called out , and said talk to and talk to Kaner []. …The training staff knew. I'm sick of this wall of silence.»
Boynton added that he was told about the allegations by then rookie Jake Dowell, but Dowell doesn't recall it perfectly. «It's foggy to me,» Dowell said in an interview. «I remember after Brad was let go after 2010 we started to hear some rumblings, but I don't know how much truth there was to it.»
«For younger players trying to make it in the NHL, [Aldrich] was a good resource,» Dowell said. «He'd tell us what the game plan was and who was doing well. He'd watch the video, get intel for us about where we stand with the coaches. That's how I remember him. For me, it was talking about where I stand and if I'll ever get a sniff in the NHL. He was a coach and I was a player.»What do you think of the latest revelations?"
