I would be pissed if I was a hawks fan, some no name video coach started them on a self destruct mode, upper management messed it right up. The first rounder probably picked to replace buffy or Bickel type got right messed up. Damn shame. That 10 squad with right managing should have hung double the banners and be in islander/Oilers/Canadians conversations

I’m guessing that was a bit of a clique nucleus also, so probably a group that was going to be around for a while, and tough to crack into that group, especially fringe players, so a ton of pressure and a limited window. Still say they should raise the draft age and keep kids closer to home longer, and possibly a little better shot at a education.

I really hope so to. There was 3 different stories from the night of the incident, John Doe's, Aldrich, and the woman and they all vary which to me sounds very strange. There is no doubt something illegal happen but how much John Doe was accountable to his own demise or not is what is not clear. Were drugs involved...possibly. Was being a stupid 20 year like many of us were at the age...likely. Regardless, the Hawks handled this terribly. I truly hope John Doe is able to move on from this, and it does take a lot of courage to come out about it. I truly hope Aldrich heads back to jail as well some way somehow despite the statue of limitations.</div></div>
Damn that whole situation is tough, so close in ages, and a coach that actually gives you some time and knows your name. Probably quite a after thought are the black aces until they are possibly needed. One tough business,

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ChiHawk</b></div><div>No, the player was 20 years old at the time and never made it to the NHL, only as a Black Ace (call up in case of injury) and there were only 2 possible players that fit that age description Shawn Lalonde and Kyle Beach on the AHL Rockford Icehogs. I remember Kyle Beach being called up as a Black Ace but don't recall Shawn Lalonde. The John Doe was also a fighter on the ice and that also fits the type of player Beach was. Very sad story as he was a former #11 OA pick and was expected to be a NHL career player.</div></div>
Looking like beach, he had a confrontation in 13/14 with a Blackhawks player from 10 and lalonde was all ready over seas by then, and beach was in the ahl. Crazy hopefully he finds some peace and closure after all this.
