Insider reveals reported reason for Corey Perry's dismissal in Chicago

"Corey Perry has engaged in conduct that is unacceptable, and in violation of both the terms of his Standard Player's Contract and the Blackhawks' internal policies intended to promote professional and safe work environments.

I do want to be very clear on this one point: This does not involve any players or their families, and anything that suggests otherwise, or anyone that suggests otherwise, is wildly inaccurate, and frankly, it's disgusting. This has been a tough situation."

"According to sources, an alcohol-fueled incident involving Perry was alleged to have occurred during an event that included corporate partners and team employees in attendance. It remains unclear what allegedly took place, who witnessed it, and who reported it to the team."

"Kyle just told us that they'd be terminating his contract and there's a standard in this room, and we all adhere to it and they believe strongly in making sure that's understood by all of us. It's a hard day and nobody wants to hear that news.

We all care about Corey, but we understand that there's a standard we're going to be held to and we all have to understand that and push forward."
