“While it is clear that, at the time, their responses were unacceptable, each of these three individuals has acknowledged that and used his time away from the game to engage in activities which, not only demonstrate sincere remorse for what happened, but also evidence greater awareness of the responsibilities that all NHL personnel have, particularly personnel who are in positions of leadership,” the league said in a statement.
Bowman will take questions from media on Wednesday in Edmonton, where he is expected to address the allegations and the actions he has taken since he stepped down as the Blackhawks’ GM.
