The Craig Needles Podcast - Paulie O'Byrne on the Blackhawks and sexual abuse in hockey

The Chicago Blackhawks sexual abuse scandal has rocked the hockey world over the last six months - but some people haven't been surprised about the findings.

One of those people is Paulie O'Byrne, who was an aspiring hockey coach until he was sexually assaulted by somebody in a position of authority in 2006.

Today, he's working with people dealing with mental health issues in London.

O'Byrne joined the Craig Needles Podcast to talk about the Blackhawks handling of Kyle Beach's sexual assault, how hockey culture harms survivors and what can be done to make kid's sports safer.
