NHLPA wraps up meeting with decision on Executive Director Don Fehr

Representatives of the union representing NHL players had a chance to question their Executive Director during a meeting Monday over the Kyle Beach situation. The meeting of the NHLPA was called following a statement from Beach saying he had contacted the union back in 2010 when he was sexually assaulted by former Chicago Blackhawks video coach Brad Aldrich, yet nothing was done. They were rumours that player reps were very unhappy about that and intended to drill ED Don Fehr over the lack of action. However, with the meeting now over, it appears Fehr escaped any punishment.

"The NHLPA executive board call wrapped up about 15-20 minutes ago," said Dave Pagnotta of The Forth Period. "Initial reactions, under the circumstances, is that there was good dialogue and it was informative. Also told not to expect any change at the Exec Dir (Don Fehr) level."

Fehr is likely breathing a huge sigh of relief as many felt there was no way he'd leave the meeting still the Executive Director of the NHLPA.

With Fehr's position in tact, we've likely seen the last of the positional fallout of the Kyle Beach situation. Blackhawks GM Stan Bowman, Senior Vice-President Al MacIsaac, and former Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville all resigned in the wake of the scandal.
