Chicago Blackhawks owner apologizes for reaction to conversation with Kyle Beach
Chicago Blackhawks owner Rocky Wirtz shut down questions about the fallout from the Kyle Beach lawsuit, which has embroiled the organization for much of the past year. During a town hall with fans on Wednesday, a reporter asked the assembled panel, which included Wirtz and Blackhawks CEO Danny Wirtz, how Chicago plans to avoid future power imbalances between players and coaches like the ones Beach saw in 2010. Rocky Wirtz was heated in his replies and later apologized for his response in a team statement. Wirtz made his remarks in a town hall. It was the first time the franchise’s top executives have been publicly faced with questions since the team released a report from an outside law firm that found the organization had denied Kyle Beach’s claims that he was during the team’s run “Tonight at Chicago Blackhawks City Hall, my answer to two questions crossed the line,” Wirtz said in a press release. “I want to apologize to the fans and to these reporters and I regret that my response overshadowed the great work this organization is doing to move forward. We have the right leaders and the right processes in place to create a safe environment for our staff and players.”
