  • Brian Burke and Defamation Draft 2
    Defamation, Celebrities, and the Internet By the very nature of their positions, celebrities in both the sports and entertainment spheres generate significant public attention and discussion. While the discourse will frequently be positive, inevitably many such conversations will result in negative, or even slanderous, remarks being made regarding such individuals. However, with the proliferation of the Internet and social media, many of these exchanges are now occurring not at the water cooler or in the schoolyard, but rather published online for a potentially wide audience to view. In fact, individuals are likely to exercise less restraint online than they would in a personal interaction, as they are protected, to varying degrees, by a veil of anonymity, and thus may be prone to making even more extreme statements. Defamation law is clear that individuals are held to the same standard for what they say online as offline, but as of yet there have been no known lawsuits that have proceeded through the legal system, all the way to damage calculations, for online libel. This article will provide recent examples of celebrities being involved in such cases, whether as the plaintiff or the defendant, and the difficulties that plaintiffs face in attempting to prevail in an online defamation lawsuit. Anonymous Defendants Brian Burke, the current general manager (“GM”) and president of the National Hockey League’s (“NHL”) Calgary Flames, as well as the former GM of the Toronto Maple Leafs, the Anaheim Ducks, the Vancouver Canucks, the Hartford Whalers, and the US men’s hockey team at the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, received substantial press about a year ago for a lawsuit he filed in the Supreme Court of British Columbia (“BC”).

  • Jets Enter Free Agency with Distinct Needs
    Winnipeg Sun http://www.winnipegsun.com/2017/06/29/jets-enter-free-agency-with-distinct-needs Jets enter free agency with distinct needs BY KEN WIEBE, WINNIPEG SUN Kevin Cheveldayoff is well aware the clock is ticking and the free agency bell is about to ring. The courting period has provided the Winnipeg Jets with the opportunity to express interest in several players they'd like to pursue come Saturday when the window to sign unrestricted free agents officially opens. Several players — including goalies Steve Mason and Brian Elliott and defenceman Karl Alzner, among others — have at least demonstrated some level of interest in joining the Jets. It's important to remember: for agents, the courting period is the time to drum up additional interest for the client. And a lot can happen between now and Saturday. Another team can swoop in with a bigger offer or provide an additional year or higher dollar amount to seal the deal. But the Jets go into this weekend with two distinct needs at the top of the wish list: an experienced starting goalie to share the net with Connor Hellebuyck and a defenceman who can play the left side, preferably a left-handed shooter. Historically, the Jets haven't been a team to swing for the fences or overpay to land a marquee name on July 1. Veteran centre Olli Jokinen was a place-holder and his signing in 2012 allowed Mark Scheifele to get some additional seasoning at the junior level before he was ready to be a full-time NHLer.
