NHL commissioner Gary Bettman says the league's investigation into an alleged sexual assault involving members of Canada's 2018 world junior team is getting 'really close to the end.'
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman speaks to reporters prior to an NHL hockey game between the Montreal Canadiens and Boston Bruins in Montreal, Tuesday, January 24, 2023. THE CANADIAN PRESS/Graham HughesNHL commissioner Gary Bettman says the league's investigation into an alleged sexual assault involving members of Canada's 2018 world junior team is getting "really close to the end."
Bettman had said that the NHL was in the "home stretch" of their investigation on Dec. 13 but that there was still work to be done. Bettman attributed the delay in concluding the investigation to "dealing with the realities" of everyone involved, not resistance from witnesses. "I believe that the data room is open," Bettman said. "And the people who will file applications to be qualified have begun to do their due diligence and so my understanding is the process is underway."
Bettman also touched on the incident involving Philadelphia Flyers defenceman Ivan Provorov back on Jan. 17. The blueliner, who is of Russian Orthodox faith, decided to stay in the Flyers' locker room as the team held LGBTQ pride night and donned Pride themed pre-game jerseys set to be auctioned for charity.
"But ultimately, players also have to be comfortable in terms of their own individual beliefs and it's a balancing act."
