Did anyone see this story? I'm only seeing the aftermath, which is this article:
Statement from Hockey's Future regarding Adam Munro interview
Written by Ken McKenna on 12/24/2003
As some of you may have noticed, an interview with Chicago Blackhawks prospect Adam Munro was pulled from both the Hockey’s Future home page and from the AHL page at Hockey’s Future.Â* The reason for the removal of this interview is that it was not in fact an interview with Adam, but instead an interview with someone posing as Adam.
Â*
The writers at Hockey’s Future do their best to make sure that the content in their articles is factual.Â* Also, the Hockey’s Future editorial staff checks out each article before being posted at Hockey’s Future, for the purpose of ensuring that the article being posted is both factual and of good quality.
Â*
In this case, the writer did not sufficiently check his sources, resulting in the posting of the fallacious Adam Munro interview.
Â*
On behalf of the owners and staff of Hockey’s Future, I would like to express our sincerest apologies to Adam Munro, as well as to the organizations of the Chicago Blackhawks and Norfolk Admirals.Â* Hockey’s Future in no way meant to harm Adam’s future as a prospect in the Blackhawks organization, nor did we mean to post anything negative towards the two organizations.Â*
Â*
Additionally, we deeply regret the comments that were posted at the Blackhawks message board that directly resulted from the posting of this interview.Â* Adam is certainly not deserving of that sort of treatment (nor is anyone), so we have removed the thread and offer our apologies to Adam.
Â*
I have personally interviewed Adam in the past, and know that he is a fine young man.Â* Let me assure all Blackhawks’ fans, as well as all visitors to the Hockey’s Future web site, that Adam is nothing like the statements that were attributed to him in that false interview.Â* We at Hockey’s Future wish Adam nothing but the best in his quest to become a NHL goaltender.
Â*
Sincerely,
Â*
