Recent allegations of abusive behaviour by some coaches have sparked the NHL to act, but Hextall on Hockey asks if it's enough to create positive change.

"We will not tolerate abusive behaviour of any kind," NHL Commissioner Gary Bettman said Monday.

Recently, the highest level of professional hockey has had a dark spotlight cast on it over allegations of coaching misconduct, ranging from racial slurs to physical abuse.

With more and more troubling allegations being hurled against current and former NHL head coaches, former NHLer Akim Aliu says "there's some big change coming."

Bettman, a panellist at the PrimeTime sports management conference on Monday at a downtown Toronto hotel, said MacLean "obviously made his feelings clear."

The union has until Sept. 15 to decide on whether to terminate the agreement as of September 2020, two years before the existing deal expires.

The NHL announced Wednesday the Bell Centre will stage the two-day event June 26-27, 2020.

The NHL commissioner sees no direct link between hockey concussions and CTE. Dr. Charles Tator has two words for him: "Steve Montador."

A Winnipeg politician says NHL commissioner Gary Bettman stance on and head injuries concussions is discouraging. "There needs to be changes," says MP Doug Eyolfson.

Professional hockey is an extremely fast and physical sport but banning any contact to the head would completely change the game for the worse.
