Miller, who was elected in 2020, eight years after his death. NHLPA Shortly after leaving his position as executive director of the MLBPA, Fehr took up a position as an advisor to the NHL Players' Association. On December 18, 2010, Fehr was voted in by the NHLPA as their executive director. With the NHL locking out the players at midnight on September 15, 2012, Fehr became t⁷he only executive director of a players' union to be directly involved in work stoppages in two sports. Six of the eight contract negotiations he has been involved in have resulted in work stoppages, including five consecutive negotiations between the MLBPA and Major League Baseball. In an October 2021 report detailing the sexual assault of Kyle Beach by the Chicago Blackhawks’ video coach Brad Aldrich and ensuing coverup by the organization revealed Beach reported this assault to Fehr, who ultimately did nothing. In an October 28th statement, Fehr admitted that the NHLPA failed Beach. Fehr left his NHLPA post in February 2023, replaced by former United States Secretary of Labor Marty Walsh.
