Anaheim Ducks place GM Bob Murray on leave pending results of investigation

Another bombshell out of the world of hockey Tuesday after the Anaheim Ducks announced GM and Executive Vice-President Bob Murray has been placed on administrative leave with an investigation taking place related to professional conduct.

"We recently became aware of accusations of improper professional conduct against Bob Murray. After an internal review, we enlisted Shephard Mullin to perform an independent investigation. Upon recommendation from their initial findings, we have decided to place Bob on administrative leave pending final results. In the interim, Vice President of Hockey Operations and Assistant General Manager Jeff Solomon will assume the role of Interim General Manager. We will have no further comment until the investigation is completed."

This is the latest in what seems like a long string of incidents in hockey recently, such as the lawsuit against the Chicago Blackhawks, the suit that was filed and then resolved involving the Pittsburgh Penguins, and others.
