Unless there is a more specific article mentioned in this thread that I missed (please forgive me if so, I will check it out), there is nothing overly compelling or straightforward with regards to this recent controversy from what I have seen after searching the story this evening, but perhaps the bombshell is yet to come. How caring of Rick Westhead and co. to have us all "stay tuned" for such a serious matter.
Allegations of this nature had better be pretty damned concrete and have convincing corroboration, especially if it's something from nearly a decade prior. That's really tough. Especially if large groups, parties, alcohol etc may (key word "may") have been involved. That can be very tricky and ruin lives on both sides of the coin, so it's perfectly reasonable to withhold judgement until there's more available information to work with. Any lazy, virtue-signaling jackass can point to hockey culture and cry about victim blaming and how horrible these accused players are, but cases like these should not be met with flippant, reactionary faux rage without convincing evidence.
