Former video coach Brad Aldrich has been accused of sexual assault by two former players.Former players coaches have been revealing details on what happened and the latest is former Blackhawks' skills coach Paul Vincent who told investigators about all the details the two players provided him. «They explain to me what happened,» Vincent told the Jenner & Block lawyers. «I didn't need all the details. I knew that it was wrong. They told me that [Aldrich] had tried to touch their penis, wanted to touch their penis. That's all I needed to know. I said, ‘It's not my spot. I'm not a police officer any more. I will go to the proper people.'"
Vincent added that after speaking with the players Vincent was asked to speak to some suits including Al MacIsaac who was vice-president of hockey operations at the time. «I come in and Al MacIsaac says to me, ‘What do you know?'» Vincent said. «I said, ‘The same thing I told [Gary and Higgins].' And with that, Al MacIsaac did most of the speaking. He said, ‘We've got it handled. You are assuming something happened and we're going to look into it. You don't need to look into it anymore.'» Vincent said he advised the executives to report the alleged abuse to police. «I did say to them I think you need to call the Chicago PD (Police Department) and have them quietly investigate,» Vincent told the Jenner & Block investigators. «That's when MacIsaac said, ‘You don't need to worry about this. We'll take care of it… You can leave now.' So I walk outside. Two of the coaches are still waiting for me, John Torchetti and Mike Haviland. I said, ‘You won't believe what just happened.' I explained it. And we went off to dinner.»
