from Frank Seravalli of Daily Faceoff,
Compared to Quenneville and Cheveldayoff, the level of scrutiny has been quite low on the role NHL Players’ Association executive director Donald Fehr played in the investigation’s report.
The temperature has been turned up on Fehr, though, now under increasing fire both internally and externally upon closer inspection of the Jenner & Block report.
Sources tell Daily Faceoff that internal support for Fehr among NHLPA staff has waned in light of Fehr’s “lack of recollection” surrounding the contact that was made with him in connection with the incident.
There have been internal questions raised as to whether Fehr would or should survive the week at the helm of the player’s union.
“I know I reported every single detail to an individual at the NHLPA, who I was put in contact with after I believe two different people talked to Don Fehr,” Beach said in an emotional interview this week, revealing himself publicly as the victim. “For [Fehr] to turn his back on the players when his one job is to protect the players at all costs, I don’t know how that can be your leader.”
The crux of the issue: is Fehr systematically complicit in allowing Aldrich to continue to move freely in the hockey community as a sexual predator?
