“I know I reported every single detail to an individual at the NHLPA, who I was put in contact with after,” Beach said last week during an interview on Canada’s The Sports Network. “I believe two different people talked to Don Fehr. And for him to turn his back on the players when his one job is to protect the players at all costs, I don’t know how that can be your leader. I don’t know how he can be in charge.”
