    Blackhawks statement:

    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 Standard Player’s 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.

    Well that will certainly put an end to all the rumor mongering. Case closed.

    Say it is someone’s mom.. please anyone but Connor’s.

    Can we get through one season drama free?

  5. chicagoamc

    Threatened someone with a souvenir cubs bat for sure.

    I think he bought some beer for a rookie. That’s more likely than him sleeping with Bedard’s mom even though she is a smoke show.

  7. JuniorAd241

    💀💀💀💀 aint no way he really fucked bedards mom

  8. topshelfblanco

    Dang I actually liked him on the team. With Hall and Perry gone do the hawks spend any draft capital to acquire a somewhat talented player to make Bedard’s rookie year less abysmal?

  9. Tominator55

    Dang. Glad we’re finally going to get some kind of resolution.

  10. IrishGrouch34

    Sheesh what the fuck could he have done? (I choose to believe *those* rumors aren’t true

  11. If the rumour is true, what a fucked up thing to do both on Perry and Bedard’s mom. Remember he’s still a kid and could very well get emotionally fucked up by all of this. I’ve been in his shoes before and it was literal hell the first 2 years. Could not focus on work or life at all. Hope he’s doing ok.

  12. LessThanSimple

    Do you think we will find out what happened after his contract is canceled?

  13. firePA498

    The Blackhawks what have they done to this glorious franchise? 🤦🏻‍♂️

  14. Lukester123

    Through the old five-hole he went.

    But seriously this is fucked. Don’t need this going on

    > The Player further agrees, … to conduct himself on and off the rink according to the highest standards of honesty, morality, fair play and sportsmanship, and to refrain from conduct detrimental to the best interest of the Club, the League or professional hockey generally.

    Maybe my Chicago Sunroof joke wasn’t far off.

  17. MostMirror

    I’m so curious what happened. This certainly pours gasoline on the Mrs. Bedard rumor fire lol

  18. IronhideDOTM

    As punishment for Corey Perry’s unacceptable behaviour with the Blackhawks organization, the Ottawa Senators will forfeit their 2032 1st round draft pick

  19. rccola916

    Regardless of what actually happened, the baseless Bedard speculation is the most out of touch Reddit shit I’ve seen in a while

  20. Responsible_Tip2709

    Imagine reading that and thinking he didn’t clap them cheeks

  21. BigGuyNorthSide

    This is actually messed up. He’s only 18 years old, people are gonna chirp him like crazy for years. It will follow him around if true

  22. guillermodelturtle

    For what??!? Connor’s mom wheeled him. This whole thing is so fuckin unfair, hol-ee shit boys.

  23. Memes aside, I’m glad the organization didn’t fuck around at all with this.

    Within less than a week of this (whatever this is) happening, they immediately removed Perry from all team functions, did a complete investigation into the matter, decided to terminate his contract and are now hosting a press conference to explain the situation.

    Hopefully Laz is priming his apology tweet to Davidson for bitching about “transparency” when they didn’t immediately disclose everything they think happened before actually looking into it and deciding how to handle it all…

  24. sad that this is the only reasonable discussion I’ve seen about this. people need to grow up, spreading rumors without knowing what actually happened for engagement.

    the “safe work environment” and the violation of the contract are not a good sign, but it seems like it’s going to be a test of how the Hawks have learned from their mistakes so we’ll see.

  25. gamecubeandwii

    Perry would never do something like this. He’s a true family man. Hawks are soft as babyshit

  26. LastFirst11

    Lmao so it wasn’t Bedards mom but he fucked someone he shouldn’t have?

  27. matt_dot_txt

    I’m thinking maybe that it was some sort of hazing incident, the part in the statement about “professional and safe work environments” is telling to me.

  28. Effective-Elk-4964

    So uh, between Hall being injured for year and Perry likely getting his contract terminated, how much is this team spending on forwards, total?

  29. ADD-Fueled

    Guys, face it. Fucking Bedard’s mon is one of the few things that makes sense.

  30. Ecruteak-vagrant

    So he actually took Mrs.Bedard for a rodeo ride huh

  31. GalacticPulsar

    Wasn’t Perry around the night of the 2018 Hockey Canada assault? Could the Hawks investigation have found that he was either involved or knew what happened and said nothing?

  32. 20_Something_Tomboy

    I’m always torn by a player like Perry. On the ice, he consistently pulls stuff I don’t care for. But almost everyone he plays with speaks about his character off the ice in glowing terms, and
    a lot of what he’s done off ice backs that up. For many years, I haven’t known what to think of him for that reason.

    So — rumors aside — if he really is a great guy behind the scenes and a welcome addition to the locker room…. what the hell could he have done to make them want to terminate?
