This story has caused a lot of ink to flow over the past few days, but especially in the last few hours, with the announcement of the termination of Corey Perry's contract with the Chicago Blackhawks organization.

Despite a little more detail on what actually happened, as we knew an internal problem had occurred, not involving any of the players' families as a false rumor had mentioned, the truth has just come out thanks to journalist Emily Kaplan.

She has just shared a big story that explains in detail what happened behind the scenes.

"Davidson said the team was first informed of the allegations last week when the Blackhawks were in Columbus, Ohio, on Wednesday to face the Blue Jackets.

Sources told Emily Kaplan of ESPN that Perry had indeed traveled with the team to Columbus last Tuesday, a day before the game, and an incident occurred that day involving a team employee. Davidson said that Perry, who had not played in the team's 7-3 loss, was 'immediately removed' from the game once the Blackhawks were informed, and by then, the club had already opened an investigation." - ESPN
