Chicago Blackhawks forward Patrick Kane is reportedly the subject of a police investigation.
According to the Buffalo News, two sources have said that Kane is being investigated for an incident by authorities in Hamburg, New York. However, law enforcement officials would not discuss whether or not there is any such investigation into the NHL player.
“We can neither confirm nor deny the existence or nonexistence of a criminal investigation until such a time as a person is charged with a crime,” said Hamburg Police Chief Gregory G. Wickett.
Kane has been a star on ice, helping the Blackhawks win three Stanley Cups in 2010, 2013 and 2015. He is also a four-time All-Star and the recipient of the Conn Smythe Trophy, Hockey-reference.com noted. Off the ice, he has had run-ins with the law, most notably in 2009 when he was arrested for allegedly assaulting a Buffalo cab driver. He and his cousin plead guilty to disorderly conduct.
Blackhawks coach Joel Quenneville said that the 26-year-old has continued to mature every year since his arrest.
