In 2021, Chicago Blackhawks captain Jonathan Toews expressed regret at the way the sexual assault case involving former Blackhawks player Kyle Beach was handled.
On May 13, 2021, an unnamed former player, who was later revealed to be Beach, filed a lawsuit alleging prolonged sexual assault by video coach Brad Aldrich during the Blackhawks' Stanley Cup-winning run in 2010.
An investigation revealed that Blackhawks executives discussed the sexual assault claims, but did not address them until after the Stanley Cup finals. Aldrich was then given the option to resign, which he accepted.
The lawsuit was settled out of court in 2021.
In an interview with TSN, Toews said he was not aware of all the facts of the case, but admitted he should have done more to support Beach.
"I can say with 100 percent certainty that if I had known about what was happening with Kyle and what he was going through, I would have acted differently."
Toews also said the organization should have taken on more responsibility to ensure Beach's welfare.
"It's something that we all take responsibility for, and we all have to learn from and move forward."
