BREAKING: Corey Perry finally breaks his silence after major scandal
Corey Perry finally released a statement, marking his first declaration since the Chicago Blackhawks terminated his contract.
Perry Opens Up For the First Time Since Incident
Perry was involved in an incident at a team event involving alcohol and the Blackhawks made the decision to terminate their association with the once respected veteran.
This is the statement he posted:
I would like to sincerely apologize to the entire Chicago Blackhawks organization, including ownership, management, coaches, trainers, employees, and my teammates. I would also like to apologize to my fans, and my family. I am embarrassed and I have let you all down.
As a result of my actions, there has been speculation and rumors. I am sickened by the impact this has had on others, and I want to make it clear that in no way did this situation involve any of my teammates or their families. Most importantly, I want to directly apologize to those who have been negatively affected and I am sorry for the additional impact to others it has created. My behavior was inappropriate and wrong.
I have started working with experts in the mental health and substance abuse fields to discuss my struggles with alcohol and I will take whatever steps necessary to ensure this never happens again. I hope to regain the trust and respect of everyone who has believed in me throughout my career.
Once again, I am deeply sorry.
Corey
More to come.
