Do you're saying that Aldrich was summarily removed from his duties as soon as possible?
As for it being swept under the rug - that's Human Resources call. No manager is getting something like this on their desk and doing literally anything aside from saying "god f***ing damn it" and calling HR.
And I can't really imagine any HR professional wanting to publically broadcast that they employees are raping other employees, I'm not in HR myself but that seems like a great way to get sued to hell and back.
I also imagine Beach at the time didn't exactly want it to be public forum.
It is well documented at this point that this went straight to the very top due to the timing, and Bowman was one of the more senior, if not most senior, executives in place who decided to prioritise winning the cup over taking severe action over a criminal offence of a sexual nature.
Blaming HR in this instance is lazy as if this were any old business with a scandal where an employee's integrity needed to be protected.
Or do you think Kyle Beach seems cool with how the Blackhawks front office handled the situation?
