Hockey is known to have its fair share of unwritten rules, and Corey Perry may have committed the most significant infraction of them all. The BlackHawks thought they had landed the best veteran to teach Connor Bedard the ropes of the game, but he may have taken the 'father figure' role too far.
It started as a rumour, but several insiders have now begun to speak on the subject, and the allegations of an extramarital affair between Connor Bedard's mom and Corey Perry may be the source of the Hawks' decision. This theory would've occurred during the team's mother's trip.
At a certain level, this story does line up; if the allegations are true, it's safe to assume that Perry won't return to the BlackHawks any time soon.
