Corey Perry Apologizes for Unacceptable Behavior Leading to Contract Termination with Chicago Blackhawks

Canadian hockey player Corey Perry spoke publicly for the first time about the incident that led to his premature end in the overseas NHL Chicago Blackhawks team. The club will terminate the contract with him, citing “unacceptable behavior” as the reason.

Perry took care of an alcohol-related incident at a team event. Representatives of the sponsors were also present, which damaged the good name of the club. The Blackhawks announced last week that Perry had left the team indefinitely. The player’s agent, Pat Morris, revealed that his client took a break from hockey to deal with personal matters. On Tuesday, Chicago already reported that the veteran committed “unacceptable behavior” and will place him on the unconditional waiver list. Subsequently, he terminates the contract with him. The 38-year-old striker will have 60 days to appeal against it.
