Kyle Beach revealed his identity Wednesday on TSN in Canada as the former Chicago Blackhawks player former video coordinator Brad Aldrich allegedly sexually assaulted during the team's Stanley Cup run in 2010. Beach had previously been anonymous, but his identity became apparent thanks to several details in the report released Tuesday by the law firm conducting the investigation for the Blackhawks, Jenner & Block. "Just a great feeling of relief, vindication," said Beach, who has played overseas since 2015. "It was no longer my word against everybody else's." The investigation followed a lawsuit filed earlier this year by Beach, which led to Stan Bowman stepping aside as the Blackhawks general manager and president of hockey operations Tuesday. Al MacIsaac, senior vice president of hockey operations, also left the team. The NHL fined the Blackhawks $2 million for “the organization’s inadequate internal procedures and insufficient and untimely response.”
