NHL to Investigate Mike Babcock at NHLPA Request

The NHL will investigate Mike Babcock at the NHLPA's request as the Edmonton Oilers show interest in hiring the former Blue Jackets head coach. Babcock resigned from his position with Columbus in 2023.

The league's decision comes after the players' association formally requested an inquiry into his conduct. It remains unclear if the Oilers will proceed with hiring pending the investigation results.
