Chicago Blackhawks left wing Nick Foligno talked about the difficulty of processing Corey Perry’s misconduct and his departure from the team.
After Tuesday’s game where Chicago Blackhawks beat Seattle Kraken 4-3 Foligno said it’s a difficult time and no one wants to hear this kind of news.
“We all worry about Corey, but you know we understand that there’s a standard that we’re going to be held to and we all have to understand that and move on. So it’s a very tough day for all of us.”
“We have to know that and I understand that there’s a standard that we have to come to, you know, it’s not a normal day and it’s not a day that’s easy for any of us, it’s a guy that we care about, it’s a tough day.”
Melanie Bedard amid scandal over alleged affair with Corey Perry
Throughout the week, rumors circulated on social media that Chicago Blackhawks veteran Corey Perry had a brief relationship with Melanie Bedard, mother of Hawks player Conor Bedard.
Kyle Davidson, the team’s general manager, assured that Corey Perry’s departure has nothing to do with the rumors about his relationship with Melanie Bedard.
Neither Melanie nor Connor have made any statements on the matter. However, it was only on Wednesday that it was discovered that Melanie’s Instagram profile had disappeared.
With no further comment from those involved, media speculate that Bedard is trying to distance herself from the center of the scandal, as well as the harassment and insults from strangers on social media.
Who is Melanie Bedard?
On July 17, 2005, Tom Bedard and Melanie Bedard gave birth to Connor in North Vancouver, Canada. Since then, Melanie has been the ultimate “hockey mom.”
The Blackhawks center has a close relationship with his mother, who made the sacrifice of moving just to benefit his hockey career.
This is one of the strangest viral rumors in sports, where those involved and the sport, in this case the NHL, lose. The NHL Players Association is reviewing the matter.
