(CONTENT/TRIGGER WARNING: Sexual Assault) In a special edition of Locked On Presents, Locked On NHL local hosts Erica Lindsay Ayala (Locked On Kraken), Ann Kimmel (Locked On Predators), Jay Forster (Locked On Blue Jackets) and Rachel Donner (Locked On Flyers) come together for a round table discussion on the fallout from the Chicago Blackhawks' sexual assault cover up, the NHL's handling of the situation, hockey's toxic culture and lack of accountability within the inner ranks of the sport, and what can be done to address the fundamental flaws in the way the sport is governed from the grass roots level up to the NHL. The conversation begins with a recounting of events detailed 107-page report from Jenner & Block on the sexual assault of the John Doe now known to be Kyle Beach by former Blackhawks video coach Brad Aldrich, and the assault Aldrich committed on a second John Doe after having left the Blackhawks organization. The panel dives into their reactions to the interviews held by TSN's Rick Westhead with both Beach and the mother of John Doe 2, and why the don't believe the hockey world would have responded in the same way without those courageous interviews. From there, Erica, Ann, Jay and Rachel discuss the NHL's handling of the situation, avenues for change within the construct of the sport, and how the league's regular missteps on issues of sexual assault, racism, homophobia and other societal ills have affected their own fandom, as well as the role fans need to play in pressuring the league to change its ways.

Growing up, Kyle Dugger used to watch football for hours. He grew up on gridiron gladiators like Adrian Peterson, Troy Polamalu, Ed Reed and Eric Berry. It was that passion for the game he loved that pushed Dugger to become the highest-drafted Division II prospect in the NFL Draft in two decades. Not only that, but Dugger was New England Patriots head coach Bill Belichick’s first draft pick of the post-Tom Brady era. This podcast explores how Dugger went from an undersized freshman running back just trying to make his high school varsity roster to a dominant safety winning the Cliff Harris Award and shining star at the Senior Bowl and NFL Combine. Locked On Presents: Long Shot – The Kyle Dugger Story also gives you an inside look at the NFL draft process from the perspective of the ultimate underdog who beat the system. Written, voiced, sound design, and edited by Cole Weinstein. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
