Patrick Kane speaks to media for first t

The opened their training camp at the University of Notre Dame on Thursday afternoon with what can only be described as an uncomfortable pre s conference addre sing the ongoing legal investigation around forward .Kane is currently at the center of a police investigation amid allegations of a sexual a sault in upstate New York during the summer. The case is expected to go before a grand jury in the coming Kendall Graveman Jersey weeks. After Blackhawks president John McDonoughconfirmed that Kane, despite his off-ice i sues, will in fact participate in camp, the forward read the following prepared statement to the media."This has been an incredibly difficult time for many people. I cannot apologize enough for the distraction this has caused my family, my teammates, this incredible organization and of course our fans. While I have too much respect for Marcus Semien Jersey the legal proce s to comment on an ongoing matter, I am confident that once the Dave Henderson Jersey facts come to light, I will be absolved of having done nothing wrong."Following that statement, Kane answered any non-hockey question by simply saying he appreciated the question, but would be unable to answer it given the ongoing legal proce s. He even gave the same answer when asked, no matter how this ends up playing out, if he will give up drinking. Given the current situation, as well as Kane's inability to answer anything that didn't relate to hockey -- and hockey is obviously a very distant secondary matter when it comes to Kane at this point -- it made his presence at the pre s conference all the more confusing and awkward.McDonough, the Blackhawks' president, opened the pre s conference by saying: "The Chicago Blackhawks organization prides itself in trying Mark McGwire Jersey to make calculated and deliberate decisions based on information we have at the present time. We recognize that Patrick Kane is dealing with a very serious Andrew Triggs Jersey situation. Based on our discu sions with his legal representatives who are very close to this matter, we have decided to have Patrick join us for training camp here at the University of Notre Dame. Furthermore, we have the utmost respect for the legal proce s and will have no further comment on this i sue at this time."
