The Boston Bruins are facing backlash over their decision to sign 20-year-old defenseman Mitchell Miller, who admitted in court to bullying a classmate with racist language.

Many Bruins fans, National Hockey League commissioners and Bruins players denied Friday’s announcement that the team had signed Miller to an entry-level contract with Boston’s AHL-affiliated Providence Bruins. reaction.

Commissioner Gary Bettmann told reporters Saturday before the Colorado-Columbus game in Tampere, Finland, that the Bruins did not consult with the league before signing Miller, who is currently eligible to play in the league. said no. If the Bruins decide to promote him, they will have to appeal to Bettmann before Miller becomes eligible.

Bettmann suggested that clearing the mirrors would not be easy.

“What I understand and have heard through the media is that what he did at 14 is reprehensible and unacceptable,” Bettmann said. He added: But at this point, no one should think that he is, or could be, NHL eligible. The Bruins understand it now. ”

He and another teen are accused of feeding a 14-year-old boy with developmental disabilities, Isiah Meyer Crothers, candy after wiping it down a toilet bowl. Surveillance camera footage showed the boys kicking and punching him. Miller also used racist adjectives for boys who were black.

Bruins general manager Don Sweeney said he was troubled by the decision to sign Miller, but suggested other teams were also interested in signing him.

Ahead of the 2020 draft, Miller, who is white, apologized in writing to all NHL teams, but not the victims. He was not asked to apologize, but did so on social media rather than in person.
