The Chicago Blackhawks have decided to end Corey Perry's contract. Perry, a Canadian player who joined the team in June, is now on unconditional waivers, meaning his contract could be terminated if he clears waivers.

Why did this happen? Well, the team did an investigation and found that Perry engaged in behavior that's considered "unacceptable" and goes against the team's rules for a safe and professional environment. The team didn't say exactly what Perry did.

During a press conference, Blackhawks General Manager Kyle Davidson talked about the situation. He made it clear that whatever happened was a personal matter and didn't involve other players or their families. He strongly denied any rumors on social media suggesting otherwise, calling them "wildly inaccurate" and "disgusting."

Davidson explained that the issue is about the workplace and that players weren't given all the details. Last week, they got reports about Perry's actions, and after looking into it, they decided to pull him from a game on Nov. 22. Following the investigation, the team chose to terminate his contract.

Perry, known for being a bit of a troublemaker on the ice, had a long career in hockey, playing for teams like the Anaheim Ducks, Dallas Stars, Montreal Canadiens, Tampa Bay Lightning, and the Chicago Blackhawks. This move by the Blackhawks is a significant event in Perry's many years in professional hockey.
