A war of words between National Hockey League Players’ Association executive director Don Fehr and former consultant Richard Rodier has escalated to the point that Rodier has accused Fehr of making it a priority to have a “harmonious” relationship with the NHL at the expense of the league’s players.
On Tuesday, Rodier emailed NHLPA staff, NHL player agents, and players who are team union reps to say that agents have a fiduciary duty to inform their clients that he has discovered instances where NHL teams are allegedly underreporting revenue.
On Wednesday morning, Fehr addressed the claims made by Rodier, a Toronto lawyer who was fired by the union in 2015.
“Suffice it to say that we disagree with nearly everything he wrote,” Fehr wrote in an email to player agents.
