So where do guys like these go from here?
Let it play out. Senior managers of these organizations aren't going to risk their careers by continuing to cover shit up. Where do the perpetrators of this shit goes? Honestly, who fucking cares. Go do something out of the public eye, sell cars...don't care. You were accepted into the fraternity of hockey brotherhood and were an abusive dick about it? Fuck off and go work at Wal Mart for all I care.
Babcock's list fiasco is sunshine and daffodils compared to this other stuff. Is there any chance in hell that Peters ever gets a job in the NHL again? Which team could ever hire him and absorb that PR backlash?
Thing is, everyone loves 1) apologies 2) personal growth and redemption stories. If I was advising Peters right now I'd tell him to take a vacation for the rest of the year, get right out of the public eye. Circle around in the summer and see who is interested in shooting you a AHL or European head coaching job. Spend a couple of years rehabbing your image, do a bunch of charity work, be open, honest and apologetic about your actions whenever anyone (specifically media) ask you about it. Be open about what you're doing to be a better human being (councilling, out reach work, charity work, etc). A couple years you'll probably get offered an assistant coaching spot in the show. He's "only" 53. If he does everything right he can grow as a human being and have a NHL head coaching spot again before he turns 60.
A real, real smart move would be to apologize your dick off to Aliu, and then team up with him to start doing hockey camps for kids together in the summer.
It really depends though, if you genuinely want to make something like this right, people will tend to want to forgive you. If you insist you did nothing wrong and talk behind the shield of a bunch of lawyers, well, good luck. I hope you enjoy coaching in the wilderness like Keefe was forced to do for a decade.
