Multiple former hockey players have accused a former University of Minnesota and Robert Morris University Illinois hockey coach of sexual abuse. They say the coach, Thomas “Chico” Adrahtas, tricked them into having sexual encounters with someone they were told was a woman, when, in fact, it was the coach. The Athletic's Katie Strang, who spent months investigating Adrahtas, joins us talk about how, despite multiple reports against the coach over more than two decades, he was able to keep coaching.
