Gary Bettman sparks outrage with ‘abhorrent, disgusting' remark as 2018 World Juniors sexual assault trial nears key stage
NHL commissioner Gary Bettman speaks to the media prior to Game One (Credit: Getty Image) As the hockey world turned its focus to Game 1 of the Stanley Cup Final between the Florida Panthers and the Edmonton Oilers. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman found himself at the center of a firestorm. While he touched on expected topics like CBA talks, taxes, and possible league expansion, it was his remarks about the 2018 World Juniors sexual assault trial that truly caught attention.

Fans online quickly responded, with some arguing that the league should have avoided any comment until after a verdict is delivered.

They have exposed deeper concerns about the league's stance on serious allegations and how its leadership handles ongoing legal cases.
