from CBC,
This is a letter written by Ian Penny, former interim executive director of the NHLPA on October 23, 2009 to the organization’s player executive board. It details reasons why he believes he was constructively dismissed by the NHLPA. It was obtained by CBCSports.ca
Executive Board Members: I am writing to the Board in my capacity as Interim Executive Director to share my concerns about a number of very troubling issues, including surveillance activities at the NHLPA office; the leaking of confidential information from Board meetings; fatal flaws with the review of operations; and my personal situation. I recognize that I am in a conflicted position when I comment on the review and some of the other office issues that concern me, but it remains my duty to advise the Board on these types of matters.

without knowing anymore than the rest of us about this whole story, i kind of get the feeling reading all these reports, that this guy penney wants to keep his part time job with the NHLPA because it pays him $600,000.00+ a year, and he gets to hang out with hockey players.

It’s really sad that Penney feels that he’s being intimidated by the other members. But, I’m having a hard time figuring out what Chelios would do with the information that he got. If somebody could please explain that to me, it’d be great.
However, I’m assuming that the meetings that they’re conducting are supposed to be confidential. If that’s the case, than the NHLPA has a major situation on its hands because of the leaking information.
