The Hockey Diversity Alliance responds to Evander Kane after he took a shot at them on his way out the door
Earlier today, Edmonton Oilers forward Evander Kane announced his departure from the Hockey Diversity Alliance. On his way out, he mentioned part of his leaving was due to members having their own agenda that didn't align with his beliefs.
Now, The Hockey Diversity Alliance has addressed Kane's departure on Twitter and they're not holding anything back. Take a look;
Evander has expressed an interest in re-joining the HDA on numerous occasions, but the group felt he needed to put more work in before re-joining. We had left the we door open for him to re-engage in some capacity when that work was done and he was in a better place to be a role model for young athletes. We are surprised by today's statement and unfounded reference to personal agendas, but we wish Evander well and thank him for his role in starting our organization.
That is quite the statement from the HDA in response to Kane's �resignation' from the organization he helped start. Kane has had trouble off the ice, that much we all know, but him being disqualified from being a director because he filed for bankruptcy shows his statement is nothing but false.
The HDA certainly didn't pull any punches when addressing Kane, in fact, the above statement has a passive aggressive tone to it. I can't say I blame them for how he chose to go about airing his grievances.
One thing's for sure, there certainly is some bad blood between Evander Kane and the Hockey Diversity Alliance. I have a feeling this public battle is far from over.
