LATEST | Connor Bedard's mother adresses the rumours for the first time

There's been much speculation regarding Perry's sudden release from the Blackhawks, even though the whole story hasn't been released to the public. Many insider and influential NHL personalities have come out and made it abundantly clear that Perry's release had nothing to do with à teammates or a member of their family.

Melanie Bedard made what could be considered her first outing regarding this whole situation and turned down all of her social media accounts.

Caught in the middle of an impossible situation between the Blackhawks and Corey Perry, she's probably been harassed and overly examined over the last few days, and something needed to be done.

At a certain point, the Blackhawks will have to come out and state what truly happened between Corey Perry and the organization to get these allegations shut down.
