Recent reports have confirmed an ongoing investigation into Bill Guerin, a Hall of Famer and the current General Manager of the Minnesota Wild.
News emerged tonight that Guerin has been absent from crucial NHL events as the investigation unfolds. The investigation revolves around a human resources complaint alleging verbal abuse in the workplace, as stated in a provided statement:
Bill Guerin, the Minnesota Wild's president of hockey operations and general manager, has been the focus of an investigation following a human resources complaint by an employee who alleged verbal abuse in the workplace, five team and league sources have confirmed to The Athletic.
The alleged incident that led to the investigation occurred in late November and was reported to the team's HR department, which commissioned an outside law firm to investigate. Two attorneys traveled to St. Paul and interviewed more than 15 members of the organization.
Two team sources indicated that the investigation into Guerin's alleged behavior was complete and the findings were delivered to upper management and ownership early this week. Wild management determined that Guerin had not committed a fireable offense, team sources said Wednesday.
