I'm curious if anyone covering the NHL has asked the Vegas Golden Knights what, exactly, the "core values that have defined our organization from its inception" are.
Las Vegas Golden Knights statement about signing goaltender Carter Hart after he was acquitted of sexual assault:

"Following the reinstatement decision agreed on by the National Hockey League and the National Hockey League Players’ Association, goaltender Carter Hart will be joining the Vegas Golden Knights organization. The Golden Knights are aligned with the process and assessment the NHL and NHLPA made in their decision. We remain committed to the core values that have defined our organization from its inception and expect that our players will continue to meet these standards moving forward"

(NYT Oct 23 1935) CENTER OF STAGE FOR HITLER — Opening of Games Arranged to Give Him Leading Role —  BERLIN, Oct. 22. — Chancellor Adolf Hitler will play the leading role at the opening of next year's Olympics in Berlin. When athletes from all over the world have been assembled in the polo field, just outside the main stadium, the president of the International Olympic Committee and the president of the organizing committee for the Eleventh Olympics will enter the Hall of Honor. In the hall they will present to Hitler the chairmen of the various national Olympic committees. Hitler, surrounded by the chairmen, will then be conducted to his box in the Olympic Stadium. When he arrives the games will be declared officially open. Much Olympic literature issued by the German organizing committee points out that the games will occur under Hitler's patronage. The whole Olympic scene is dominated by the 249-foot Fuehrer Tower.

"You know, scientists have been waving the flag for years, saying you've got to look at this body of scientific data, and the modern medical establishment really has been disconnected."
