The San Jose Sharks say they 'are aware of additional allegations' against Evander Kane unrelated to the prior gambling investigation and, until further notice, have decided the forward will not participate at training camp.

that are unrelated to the NHL's initial investigation into whether he gambled on league games and, until further notice, have decided the forward will not participate at training camp.

In a statement obtained by Sportsnet, Travis Krepelka, Kane's attorney, refuted the latest allegations, saying"Evander denies ever abusing Ms. Kane or their daughter Kensington, whom he cherishes."The Sharks, when announcing Kane would not participate at camp, said the league would continue to have their full cooperation in its latest ongoing investigation.

"The investigation uncovered no evidence to corroborate Ms. Kane's accusations that Mr. Kane bet or otherwise participated in gambling on NHL games, and no evidence to corroborate the allegations that Mr. Kane 'threw' games or did not put forward his best effort to help the Sharks win games," the league said in a statement."To the contrary, the evidence raises doubts about the veracity of the allegations.

The allegations first surfaced in July, when Anna Kane came out with a series of public accusations against him, including allegations he had bet on his own NHL games. Shortly after, the NHL announced the league was opening up an investigation into the matter. Kane denied the allegations at the time, with respect to his personal conduct and gambling, and re-iterated that stance during the ESPN interview.

Release him

FAN590 Amazing how Reaves and Kane were both the face of racial diversity in the NHL. It would be like the NFL using OJ as the face of violence against women campaign.

He was the poster boy for the hockey diversity alliance.

Hes got a bad rep all the way to Jr. There is no saving this dude. He's a POS thru and thru.

I still don’t like him. And by that I mean the person, not the hockey player.
