“The report speaks for itself.” – Blackhawks CEO Danny Wirtz, October 26, 2021
By Chris Block
Upon recently re-reading Jenner & Block’s report on its purported findings into the investigation of the Blackhawks knowledge, and subsequent handling of John Doe (Kyle Beach)’s complaint that video coach Brad Aldrich had sexually assaulted him off-site in May of 2010, I re-visited some of my notes and audio interviews from covering the Rockford IceHogs during Kyle Beach’s time with the organization.
Specifically interesting to me in the report, was the revelation that in September of 2013, the Houghton, Michigan police department had contacted the Blackhawks director of Human Resources – then Marie Sutera – and essentially tipped off the Blackhawks front office that Aldrich was being investigated for possible sexual assault of a minor and that Aldrich was likely about to be arrested.
Page 64-65, Jenner & Block report
What essentially all of us outside the Blackhawks organization were unaware of back then was the fact that Blackhawks top executives were harboring a dirty little secret – a cover up of an alleged sexual assault of a player of theirs by a former coach, and the decision to forgo an investigation of their own.
In the end they chose to shield themselves from any bad publicity, protect the reputation and career of that former coach and show next to zero sympathy to the player they continued to employ.
Back in September of 2013, I was still regularly writing and podcasting about the Blackhawks, and more specifically covering the Rockford IceHogs. When reading the above passage from the Jenner & Block independent investigation, I recalled that there was another significant development in Kyle Beach’s career back in the fall of 2013.
Obviously unbeknownst to Beach, the Blackhawks received word via a Houghton, Michigan police detective in September 2013 that his sexual assaulter was being investigated for a different criminal sexual crime.
We now know, thanks to the Jenner & Block report, that John McDonough, then president of the team, waited five days after the Blackhawks won the 2010 Stanley Cup Final, and three weeks from the time he first learned of the alleged sexual assault until he reported it to the team’s Human Resources director – Marie Sutera.
Sutera and the Blackhawks outside legal council handled Aldrich’s ultimate departure from the organization two days later – June 16, 2010. From Sutera’s account outlined by Jenner & Block, they offered Aldrich a chance to resign, or take a leave of absence while the team investigated. Aldrich chose to resign. The team never investigated and Aldrich went on to tell people he was leaving the team because he was “tired of the grind.” He then went on to serve in roles with the USA Hockey program, Notre Dame, Miami of OH and the Houghton high school hockey team.
Fast-forward three years, Blackhawks HR receives word that Aldrich is now under investigation for allegedly assaulting a minor in Michigan. The Houghton police detective also tells Sutera that the department is aware of rumors of “hang ups with males affiliated with the Blackhawks” as possible reason Aldrich left the team in 2010. (This is a truly stunning detail when you think about it.)
The organization that was desperate to prevent bad news from leaking out and distracting or tainting their 2010 Stanley Cup chase was now aware that this same individual was likely about to be arrested just as the Blackhawks begin defense of their 2013 Stanley Cup championship. A week later the team was set to raise their 2013 Cup banner on Opening Night of the 2013-14 Season, October 1, 2013.
In charge of human resources, Sutera reported directly to then Blackhawks’ president John McDonough.
It defies any and all logic that Sutera would not have reported this 2013 phone call and its contents to McDonough promptly thereafter. Whether this information was passed on to Rocky Wirtz by McDonough, or both Sutera and McDonough, only they would know. Even a passing understanding of crisis management would lead you to believe the Chairman of the organization would have at least been briefed of this development.
September 2013 – Blackhawks loan Kyle Beach to HV71 club in Sweden
The career of the 11th overall selection in the 2008 NHL Draft was widely considered to be “a bust” by the summer of 2013. Kyle Beach had been a Blackhawk for parts of five seasons and had yet to play in an NHL game. When his first professional contract expired that summer, it was unclear whether then GM Stan Bowman would tender an offer and re-sign the restricted free agent. On July 17, 2013 the Blackhawks did, inking Beach to a new one-year deal.
Beach responded by putting in what he later admitted to me was his hardest-working off season.
In the month of August, Beach traveled to Sweden for an informal conditioning camp led by Blackhawks director of player development, Barry Smith. The workouts were held during the preseason camp of Swedish league team HV71, who had an informal working relationship with Smith and the Blackhawks.
Then Blackhawks players Joakim Nordstrom, Niklas Hjalmarsson and Viktor Svedberg also participated in the workouts that week. Beach stayed with Nordstrom to save on expenses. He was not asked by the Hawks, nor was it suggested he travel to Sweden for that week of workouts. He did so on his own accord. He also stayed in Chicago and worked out with Hawks skating skills coach Kevin Delaney that summer to improve on that aspect of his game.
In mid-September 2013, Beach reported to Blackhawks training camp and tested 5th best overall in the team’s pre-camp physical conditioning evaluations – by far the best shape he’d been in since turning pro. He then appeared in one preseason game at Washington and survived the team’s initial two main rounds of player cuts before ultimately being sent down to Rockford on Tuesday September 24th.
Later that week, Beach would learn that the Hawks were loaning him to HV71 in Sweden. That team’s season was already underway. Injuries had created an opening, he was told, and he would be leaving immediately. By Saturday night, September 28th, Beach was on a flight to Sweden. The next day, the team issued a press release with news of the loan transfer.
Timeline of the Houghton PD phone call and Blackhawks sending Beach to Sweden
Beach’s stint with the HV71 club in Sweden lasted about a month. During that time, Aldrich was arrested by the Houghton Police Department and officially charged with criminal sexual conduct with a student at a hearing two weeks after.
News of Aldrich’s arrest never made news in Chicago or around any NHL circles. The obvious reason for this was due to a news report out of Houghton (a town in Michigan’s upper peninsula, north of Green Bay) a week later never mentioned any of Aldrich’s former employers. Unless someone was randomly doing an internet search of Brad Aldrich, it was off the radar.
In late October, Beach’s try-out agreement officially expired. There were some discussions about an option to play for another team on another tryout in Sweden, but Beach ultimately returned to the Blackhawks organization.
When I spoke to Beach for an interview in November 2013, he recounted in detail how the loan to the Swedish club came out.
“It was brought to my attention that it would be a possibility the Tuesday before I went,” Beach recalled.
“It didn’t really go anywhere – a couple talks back and forth. And then, before you knew it, I think I found out I was actually going (to Sweden) on Friday night at around midnight. I booked my flight at 2 in the morning and I was gone Saturday night at 10. So, it all happened (snaps fingers) like that.”
-Listen to the Nov 30, 2013 interview segment in which Kyle Beach lays out timeline of his transfer to HV71
Beach’s transfer to the HV71 club in Sweden was officially just a professional try-out agreement. The club had injuries, and thus an open roster spot at the time. The Swedish club was already a month into its regular season. In the long run, HV71 though wouldn’t have a spot for Beach, as the club had 16 healthy forwards at the time Beach’s try-out agreement expired.
“I sat down with the coaching staff and the management over there – who were great guys. I owe them a lot. It was a lot of fun,” Beach explained. “We just decided it was going to be a numbers game.”
“It was a group decision to come back (to Rockford.) There was another option for me to go to another team over there, but I felt like the best choice for my career at the time was to come back and battle out here. Maybe get an opportunity, maybe get traded, and just see where the cards play.”
John Doe 2 in the Jenner & Block report is the Houghton student Aldrich eventually pleaded guilty to sexually assaulting in March of 2013 when the student was still 16.
John Doe 2 did not report the alleged crime to police until September 23rd after his parents became concerned by his behavior and discovered he had been taking Benadryl excessively, according to the Houghton PD criminal complaint. When confronted by his parents the weekend of Sep 21-22, John Doe 2 broke down and told his parents that Brad Aldrich had raped him months prior.
On Monday September 23,, 2013 at 9am, John Doe 2 and his father met with a Houghton police detective and filed a criminal complaint. The detective immediately began an investigation, including contacting Aldrich’s prior employers. Eight days after John Doe 2 reported the crime, Aldrich was arrested. [John Doe 2 criminal complaint pg 1, pg 2, pg 3]
Is it possible the Hawks sent Kyle Beach to Sweden because they’d just learned Aldrich was about to be arrested, were spooked, and did not want Beach around when that went down?
Short answer – Of course it’s possible. But only Stan Bowman, John McDonough and possibly Rocky Wirtz would know the answer to that.
Or, possibly Norm Maciver, who was the assistant general manager in September of 2013 and would have been involved in the process of loaning Beach to an overseas team. That was more in line with assistant GM duties – when it came to handling the transfer of a non-NHL roster player. It’s hard to believe Maciver wouldn’t have been involved in discussions about sending Beach to Sweden.
Less likely, but still possible that Kyle Davidson would have been a fly on the wall as talks about sending Beach to Sweden transpired. Davidson was in an administrative role that handled contract and transfer paperwork by that point.
Sending Beach off to Sweden two months after re-signing him and then watching him have his best training camp as a pro didn’t make much sense at the time. In doing so, they were devaluing an asset who seem to have the most momentum as a prospect Beach had in a couple years. If they wanted him to just go away, they could have simply not signed him two months earlier.
The Blackhawks eventually did wind up trading Beach to the Rangers in December, but not until after Beach had a somewhat tumultuous November after returning to the Rockford team that saw him scratched for as many games as he played.
Beach was left home from a two-game road trip and healthy-scratched four-consecutive games for what then IceHogs head coach Ted Dent called “code of conduct” violations.
Days before those supposed conduct issues, during a November 11, 2013 interview on the IceHogs weekly radio talk show “Hog Talk”, Beach replied “Depends on who you ask” when the interviewer, an IceHogs intern, stated that the guys in the locker room “like” Beach. He had his friends on the team, but it was clear by this point that all was not happy with Beach in the Blackhawks fold.
A week before, when I arrived through a security checkpoint at the BMO Harris Bank Center before Beach’s first home game back with the IceHogs on Nov 3rd, I observed Beach stretching and warming up alone on the opposite side of the rink from the Rockford locker room where his other teammates were warming up or kicking around the soccer ball prior to warmups. It was one of a few clues to suggest he was becoming increasingly isolated from much of the team.
Dent held Beach out of four games Nov 23 – 29. When Beach returned on November 30th, he posted a hat-trick in a 4-3 home victory over the rival Chicago Wolves. He scored again in the IceHogs next game at Charlotte and less than 24 hours later, Beach was traded to the New York Rangers, who had been scouting Beach on and off for two seasons.
Ten days after the trade, Brad Aldrich pleaded guilty in a Michigan court room to criminal sexual conduct with a student and was sentenced to 9 months in prison. Again, a local new report published online neglected to note Adrich’s previous NCAA or NHL employers and the story failed to gain any traction. Beach, by his account, would remain unaware of Aldrich’s actions and conviction in Michigan for another five and a half years.
Timeline of Beach’s 2013 Sweden loan and Houghton MI Police Investigation of Brad Aldrich
Wed Jul 17, 2013 – Blackhawks re-sign Kyle Beach to a one-year contract.
September 2013 – Beach tests 5th-best in Blackhawks pre-training camp physical conditioning tests of all players attending camp.
Fri Sep 20, 2013 – Beach appears in a preseason game at Washington. He skates 12:58, has 1 shot on goal, 3 hits, a takeaway and a five-minute major for a fight with Caps forward Tom Wilson. He’s not on the ice for any goals for, or against in a 5-4 shootout Hawks victory.
Mon Sep 23, 2013 – At 9:00am, John Doe 2, accompanied his father, report sexual assault claim to Houghton, MI police. The assault took place in March of 2013, when the victim was 16 years old.
Tue Sep 24, 2013 – Kyle Beach is among the 3rd round of Blackhawks NHL training camp cuts. Beach and others are reassigned to Rockford. Beach recalls this also being the day the prospect of playing in Sweden is first mentioned to him and his agent.
Week Sept 23-27, 2013 – Per Houghton, MI police criminal complaint records, and the Jenner & Block report, Blackhawks director of Human Resources Marie Sutera is contacted by the Houghton Police Department, informing her that former employee Brad Aldrich was being investigated for criminal sexual assault and was seeking information on Aldrich’s employment with the Blackhawks. The detective also writes in his official report of rumors Aldrich had been accused of unwanted touching of male athletes led to his departure at previous employers.
The Jenner & Block report revealed “a detective stated that the police were investigating Aldrich because Aldrich was suspected in a criminal sexual assault” and that “Sutera recalled the detective telling her that the police heard that there were “hang ups” with males affiliated with the Blackhawks.” (This is a truly stunning detail Jenner & Block revealed when you think about it.)
Sutera only confirms Aldrich’s employment there and states that any further information from the Blackhawks would require a subpoena or search warrant. Sutera also told J&B she did not recall hearing from the Houghton PD again. The Jenner & Block report only states that this call took place in September. Since it could not have transpired prior to John Doe 2 filing the complaint on the morning of September 23rd, the call could not have taken place before then. Judging by the Houghton police report, the call is most likely to have occurred on Sep 23 or 24th, but could have taken place at any point this last week of September.
Fri Sep 27, 2013 – Late this Friday night, Beach learns that the Blackhawks are loaning him to the HV71 club in Sweden’s top pro league. Per Beach, he books his own flight at 2am in the morning Saturday.
Sat Sep 28, 2013 – Beach flies out of Chicago to Sweden at 10pm
Sun Sep 29, 2013 – Blackhawks release a statement announcing Beach has been loaned to HV71.
Tue Oct 1, 2013 – Blackhawks raise 2013 Stanley Cup Champion banner at their home opener vs Washington Capitals.
Wed Oct 2, 2013 – Brad Aldrich is arrested by the Houghton, Michigan Police Department. In subsequent news stories of his arrest, Aldrich’s prior employers are not mentioned. Word of Aldrich’s arrest never makes news in Chicago or elsewhere around NHL circles.
Fri Oct 18, 2013 – Aldrich appears in court for his preliminary hearing and is released on $10,000 bond.
Oct 25, 2013 – HV71 releases Beach from his tryout agreement. Blackhawks reassign Beach to AHL-Rockford. Beach reports to the team Oct 28th.
Nov 30, 2013 – Beach skates in his final home game in Rockford, scoring 3 goals and earning the game’s 1st star in a 4-3 win over the Chicago Wolves
Dec 5, 2013 – Beach tallies a goal in his final game with the Blackhawks organization, a 3-2 overtime loss at Charlotte.
Dec 6, 2013 – Blackhawks trade Beach to NY Rangers in exchange for winger Brandon Mashinter.
For the remainder of that 2013-14 season, Beach tallied just 2 goals and 7 points in 39 games with the AHL Hartford Wolf Pack. He was not re-signed by the Rangers organization and has not played in North America since.
Dec 16, 2013 – Aldrich pleads guilty to fourth-degree criminal sexual-conduct. He is jailed and his prior bond is revoked. A news report account of Aldrich’s arrest makes no mention of his prior hockey employment.
Feb 13, 2014 – Aldrich is sentenced to 9 months in jail and five years’ probation. His sentence is credited 59 days for time served ahead of sentencing. Again, a local published news report makes no mention of Aldrich’s prior NCAA or NHL employment.
July 2014 – Aldrich is released from prison after serving seven months of his nine-month sentence.
Oct 2016 – Aldrich is granted a second “day with the Stanley Cup” by the Hockey Hall of Fame. The accommodation was reportedly brief. Aldrich posted pictures of himself and young interns with the Cup to the OcuGlass company Twitter account, for which he was employed and served as CEO at. In 2021, a HHOF spokesperson stated they were unaware of Aldrich’s “criminal past and transgressions in Chicago until media reports surfaced in June 2021.”
July 2019 – Per the lawsuit filed on behalf of John Doe 1 (Beach) in Cook County in May of 2021, Beach first learns of Aldrich’s 2013 arrest and conviction after a European league teammate suggests Beach google the name Brad Aldrich.
————————————————-
Did Rocky know, or not
“To be clear, neither myself, nor Danny [Wirtz], knew anything about these allegations until we received word that a lawsuit was being filed. If we had, we certainly would not be standing here today.” – Rocky Wirtz – October 26, 2021
Another thing particularly interesting in the Jenner & Block investigation is the firm’s assertion that Rocky Wirtz had no knowledge of Brad Aldrich’s alleged assault of Kyle Beach in 2010 until the Blackhawks received initial word that Beach’s attorney was planning to file a lawsuit against the team.
While not clearly stated in the report, one possible clue as to when the Blackhawks first learned of the impending lawsuit comes on page 47.
Out of nowhere, the report notes a January 2021 meeting involving Marie Sutera, Dr. James Gary (Blackhawks former mental skills coach) and another unnamed individual in which J&B states Gary’s description of the May 23, 2010 meeting (by Sutera’s account) of front office higher ups to decide how to handle Kyle Beach’s claim should be handled on the eve of the Cup Final is described as containing details that went beyond what Gary told J&B investigators in his September interview.
This included the first documented inclusion of Joel Quenneville in the May 2010 meeting and the anecdote claiming Quenneville saying he was angry and “concerned about upsetting team chemistry” – (which lined up with Stan Bowman’s testimony to Jenner & Block. Take that and resolve it how you will.)
This passage is cited from the last interview Jenner & Block did according to their report, the third and final interview conducted with Sutera on October 11, 2021. Sutera was the lone person interviewed more than twice. She was the first and last person they spoke with and Sutera left her position with the Blackhawks during this investigation.
It stands to reason this sudden topic of conversation in January 2021 came after the organization learned lawsuits were in the pipeline.
It’s important to note that no one interviewed was under oath. Participation was voluntary. Which is what makes Brad Aldrich’s participation all the more fascinating, as it is odd. Joel Quenneville was interviewed twice. It’s important to note that before Quenneville was interviewed, his public statement was that he had no knowledge of the claim against Aldrich until all of this became public. It turned out he was not telling the truth either. But when he was first interviewed, no one had – publicly at least – placed Quenneville in the room for that meeting after the Blackhawks won the 2010 Western Conference Final.
Jenner & Block ‘clearing’ the Wirtz’s
As exhibited above, the J&B report inserted what amounted to a footnote on page 6 to declare that their investigative team “uncovered no evidence” that Rocky Wirtz (or Danny Wirtz, but he didn’t work in the front office in either 2010 or 2013) had knowledge of Beach’s allegation, Aldrich’s conduct or their front office’s handling of the matter until years later when Beach’s lawyer made them aware a lawsuit was forthcoming.
What gets fascinating about that assertion is that Reid Schar also mentioned during the video call on October 26, 2021 to announce J&B’s findings that his team had interviewed both Rocky Wirtz and Danny Wirtz.
At no point in the report are either Wirtz ever mentioned. The name ‘Wirtz’ does not appear even once in the document.
Many current and former Blackhawks employees and players were granted anonymity for participating and listed as “Witness” when information from their interviews is cited. Only individuals who had commented publicly and consequential front office employees who were directly involved with the handling of matters pertaining to Beach’s and the other Black Ace’s claims described in the report were named specifically by Jenner & Block.
If Rocky Wirtz was interviewed, as Schar stated, nothing from that interview was determined to be useful enough to be included in Jenner & Block’s final report, since his interview is not listed in the end notes, nor is the one said to be done with Danny Wirtz.
What is more peculiar, is if J&B had recorded anyone who they interviewed as saying that they never informed Rocky Wirtz – why would that NOT be included in the report since J&B when out of its way to include the footnote about Wirtz having no knowledge before this year?
Surely, if J&B had an account from John McDonough saying that he had kept this from Rocky Wirtz for all these years, Reid Schar and his team would’ve included THAT in their findings. Since its not in there, we’re left to assume McDonough didn’t tell J&B that – or is it possible J&B never asked McDonough that question?
If you read through the report, while McDonough sat for two interviews, he recounted a lot of ‘don’t recalls’ and ‘wasn’t involved in that’ type responses for a boss known to be a relentless micro-manager.
Sutera, who was clearly one of the most-helpful witnesses to the investigation (even though she was unable to locate Aldrich’s employee file) recounted the June 14, 2010 meeting in which she said McDonough called her into his office where he informed her that they had a problem with Aldrich. This was the meeting the director of HR first-learned of the entire situation. In his interview, McDonough claimed he didn’t recall that meeting or speaking to Sutera about Aldrich at all.
McDonough also told J&B that after the meeting on the day they clinched their berth into the 2010 Final, he never heard Aldrich’s name or the matter ever brought up again.
While McDonough’s accounts don’t align with his director of Human Resources – who directly reported to McDonough – if the former Blackhawks team president is telling the truth – that would mean when the Houghton Police Department called the last week of September 2013, it was never brought to his attention. This was on the eve of raising the 2013 Cup banner on Opening Night, that the organization he was at the helm of was potentially about to be facing a public relations (and possible legal) crisis of its own-making.
It’s just not plausible. Any HR director would have immediately forwarded that information to their superior.
It’s unclear whether McDonough was even asked questions about the 2013 phone call because there’s nothing in the report that suggests he was asked about it.
That call’s inclusion in the report is limited to a paragraph. If Sutera was asked if she informed anyone above her about that call, it’s not included in the report. It’s hard to believe that wasn’t asked. If she was, that would’ve been a place Jenner & Block could have provided supporting evidence for its assertion in the footnote on page 6 that Rocky Wirtz knew nothing of any of this that was happening on his watch during the most significant stretch of time in the franchise’s history.
Instead, there is not supporting evidence to support that footnote – Anywhere.
We could just take the Wirtz’ word for it. But then again, remember what they told us when the lawsuit first surfaced last May.
And remember they also told us they weren’t aware Garret Ross was arrested until it made news on an obscure Chicago sports blog six weeks later.
“The Chicago Blackhawks take the allegations asserted by a former player very seriously. Based on our investigation, we believe the allegations against the organization lack merit and we are confident the team will be absolved of any wrongdoing.” – Adam Rogowin, Blackhawks vice president for communications – May 12, 2021
The independent investigation they commissioned themselves determined that defiant May 2021 Blackhawks statement contained a lie. They never performed an investigation of their own.
If Jenner & Block had testimony from any of the essential front office employees who could back up that Rocky Wirtz had no knowledge the Aldrich-Beach situation and was not involved in the handling of it at any point, I don’t know why they would omit it from the report. That determination was an essential aspect of the investigation.
It could just be that it doesn’t exist.
Or, when anyone was asked, they got a case of selective memory loss or just replied “no comment”- and that’s how Jenner & Block arrived at their conclusion.
We learned a lot about the organization’s mishandling, lack of compassion or general decency when it came to responding to abuse Kyle Beach and other Blackhawks employees allegedly experienced at the hands of Brad Aldrich. For that, we should be appreciative of Jenner & Block’s work.
But, at the same time, their investigative digging left as many questions as it did answers.
And for that, the report certainly does speak for itself.

A few end notes here of my own. I suppose I should state that I am not related (at least that I’m aware) to anyone at Jenner & Block.
Some have asked about this web site and what happened to all the articles and past posts. Long story short, I thought I was done with this part of my life. Unfortunately, thinking that, I didn’t log into the site for many months. I’m not sure how long. Big mistake. My understanding is a recovery is still possible but many files are corrupted and the last backup isn’t complete. Bummer. It was a lot of time and work over the years. Luckily, I never delete or throw anything away. So I have a lot of that work. I’m just not sure its worth spending the time or resources to restore all of that.
