The Blackhawks have finally reached a settlement with Kyle Beach
BREAKING: The Blackhawks have reached a settlement with Kyle Beach.
This ends an eight-month legal struggle between Kyle Beach and the Blackhawks. During a third-party mediation conference on Wednesday, Hawks and Beach's lawyers agreed to a confidential out-of-court cash settlement.
The deal resolves Beach's long-pending negligence complaint against the Hawks, which claimed former video coach Brad Aldrich sexually abused him in May 2010 and that Hawks executives deliberately covered it up.
«The Blackhawks hope that this resolution will bring some measure of peace and closure for Mr. Beach,» the two parties said in a joint statement. « The Blackhawks organisation is committed to continuing to be a model of professionalism, respect, and honesty in our community.
«We remain grateful for the trust and support of the Blackhawks community, and we promise to continue working every day to earn and maintain that trust.»
