What's going on with Johnny Hockey?

[SI90]

I’m sick to my stomach over this. Don’t have good feelings about it being fake. Heartbreaking for the families. Losing one loved one is hard enough but 2 at the same time. Thoughts are with everyone affected by this

 

[Cake Eater]

What medium or platform does he have? I genuinely would like to know. Twitter?

Yeah I’d say Twitter is a platform that public figures use to communicate with the masses.

 

[PanniniClaus]

You seem to be trying to redefine it.

Does he have a podcast? Is he a TV anchor? Is Canadien Shark a public figure?

 

[Matty Sundin]

Editor’s note: Tim Peel, while a horrible ref, and person, is a public figure (with sources).

Not sure how good of a source Tim Peel is but he is a “source”

If it’s true or not he’s still a garbage human being giving this rumor more traction when some family members might not be aware yet.

 

[PanniniClaus]

So you and I are public figures. I have twitter.

 

[Nemesis Prime]

This.

Yes Kevin O’Leary is a public figure

 

[PanniniClaus]

I am just really angry that Tim Peel is the only source we have. He's a low, low man.

Redefining what a public figure is I guess. What medium or platform does he have? I genuinely would like to know. Twitter?

Well he was an NHL ref for 20+ years and has to have some connections, him saying something about this has more weight than a random Twitter user.

 

[TheBeard]

He can be an awful human being, and he can have sources. Both can be true.

Tim is that you?

 

[CanadienShark]

Take a chill pill dude. He's been on TV plenty, usually for the wrong reasons. Just because you don't run a TV show, doesn't mean you're not a public figure.

 

[Cake Eater]

So you and I are public figures. I have twitter.

I don’t use Twitter. Also were you on tv thousands of times and have tens of thousands of followers on Twitter. Seems like you’re really struggling with what is and isn’t a public figure.

 

[PanniniClaus]

Yes Kevin O’Leary is a public figure

You mean a TV personality.. journalist... businessman.. That guy. He and Peel are twins.

I don't have any more patience for this.

 

[CanadienShark]

So you and I are public figures. I have twitter.

Why are you melting down?

 

[Wolfpuck]

I feel sick.

I’m hoping to wake up to news that somehow isn’t tragic (it sounds like loss of life of at least one human being has been confirmed, sadly, regardless of who it is).

Just a gutting feeling that leaves you empty. My heart goes out to those lost and everyone whose worlds have been destroyed.

 

[Satans Hockey]

Apparently his sister is getting married tomorrow in the area and that's why both brothers are here. I really hope this is bs, what an absolutely horrific weekend it would be when it was supposed to be one of the best of their lives. Just absolutely awful if it's true.

 

[Cake Eater]

Tim is that you?

Why would Tim Peel admit to being an awful human being? Don’t be weird and use your head.

I love irony.

 

[SI90]

I’m not going to post it but it’s circulating that the medical examiner shared the police officers notes in a group chat and that’s how it got leaked before families were notified. Horrible.
If the police notes are real they have both Johnny and Matthews names and DOB.
Everyone needs to remember we live in a social media world where word travels fast. Not that there’s any good way to find out about the loss of a loved one but potentially finding out via social media without all the confirmed facts from police and/or doctors is extremely unfair and difficult for families.

This whole thing sucks.

 

[PanniniClaus]

You really don't get that a disgraced official.. fired.. due to credibility issues, should not be the person to break the death of a hockey player to the world. Never mind the fact he has no decency.. he has no.. wait for it.. CREDIBILITY

Jesus Christ. It gets worse and worse

If it's true that dude needs to lose his job. Unacceptable.

He’s not breaking it though, just corroborating, and he would have the sources to do so.

Terrible if true. Here they wait 24 hours before releasing a victim's name so that the family can be notified properly.
