Corey Perry, a veteran presence on the Chicago Blackhawks, has been let go from the team. The situation regarding his release is still very unclear and peculiar, but social media rumors continue to grow that Perry allegedly slept with prodigy Connor Bedard’s mom.
The Blackhawks released a statement on Tuesday:
“After an internal investigation, the Chicago Blackhawks have determined that Corey Perry has engaged in conduct that is unacceptable, and in violation of both the terms of his contract and the Blackhawks’ internal policies intended to promote professional and safe work environments…As such, Corey Perry has been placed on unconditional waivers. In the event Mr. Perry clears waivers, we intend to terminate his contract effective immediately.”
General Manager Kyle Davidson shot down social media rumors in a press conference yesterday.
Perry’s last game with Chicago was on November 19. He was a healthy scratch on November 22 and sat out again on November 24 before Davidson said he wouldn’t be returning any time soon.
