Several hockey fans have taken to social media to express their frustration with the National League draft lottery, which resulted in the Chicago Blackhawks talking No. 1 in June, in connection with the unfortunate Kyle Beach case.

Some said they were sorry the Bettman Tour was rewarding this organization for its questionable handling of a sexual assault case within its ranks. In recent years, a scandal erupted within the team when it was publicly revealed that members of the “Hawks” would have turned a blind eye to a deplorable situation in their ranks.
During the 2010 playoffs, the year the Blackhawks won the Stanley Cup, team prospect Kyle Beach was allegedly sexually assaulted by video coach Brad Aldrich. It was only a decade later that he broke the silence.
After this shock wave, general manager Stan Bowman and head coach Joel Quenneville (then with the Florida Panthers) lost their jobs.
Having won the lottery, the Blackhawks should pick Regina Pats forward Connor Bedard first overall. Internet users have judged that Chicago simply should not have had the right to speak in the first round this year.
Having settled the dispute with Beach out of court, the Blackhawks were nevertheless fined $2 million by the National League in December 2021.
