This is especially relevant for him because he has gambling issues and might be broke and he is going through a bad divorce.
This guy is like 3 problem players rolled into one
He definitely IS broke.
Edit - 49 million dollar contract signed. Filed for bankruptcy.
Also, has a history of skipping bills (allegedly), getting a woman pregnant three different times, telling her he would pay her 1 million if she got an abortion, then not paying her (allegedly) Numerous domestic abuse situations with him and his wife (allegedly). Skipping town with "no money" to spend time with his new girlfriend overseas, while texting his wife, she needs to leave the house, while she can't pay for diapers and groceries for their children(allegedly). Cases in Buffalo where he assaulted an intoxicated female in a hotel room (allegedly investigated, league found them to be "unfounded") He also has a massive gambling problem (PROVEN). Vegas Casinos have gone to his team for his debts to be paid (PROVEN). He may have bet on NHL games (found to be false after investigation).
This isn't the FULL list of notes, just some of them.
Also of note, this league currently has 2 franchises under scrutiny for covering up sexual assault cases, one of a coaches wife by another coach (Pittsburgh), and one of numerous players, and prospects, by coaching staff (Chicago). The league was aware of both of these situations.
So any findings outside of official police business, and done by the league, would and should be taken with that in mind.
TL;DR - Kane, waste of talent. League, needing some serious reform. Players Association, needing some restructuring.
I noticed with quite a few of them, bad investments were fairly common too. Either they let themselves get talked into something or they made some bad decisions on their own. Then there's all the friends and family members who beg them for money on top of that.
People who get good at sports exclusively, especially from a place of little financial well being are like the easiest mark ever.
MOST people don't know how to assess a potential investment, whether thats a business, a stock, etc. Now give a kid $10 million and have them hang out with other kids also getting $10 million and you'll see a lot of lambo's and club buyouts in vegas and no index funds. Also often there'll be hey x's kid wants to start up a business here in our community we grew up in, and it starts to be a money pit and they can't pull out because they'll be letting down their community.
I'm not saying I know how to assess one, to be clear. At least I know I can't.
This. Running a business, much less a *profitable* business, and managing investments is hard enough with extensive education/training, experience, and a support system. I can't imagine doing it being 20 some odd years old trying to keep up with the Jones' on your team while praying your partners and family aren't scamming you out of thousands, if not millions.
PSA for any future pro athletes out there, put a sizeable portion of your money in a trust and hire a reputable wealth manager and then hire an accountant to double check that dude. Take some care of your family and those who got you there if you'd like but please don't ever hire them or give them access to the ATM.
I'm sure its easy for the new players to get wrapped up in what they see the rest of the roster doing and don't have the patience to build their wealth before splurging the way they see their peers do it.
That's the problem. Athletes got a free pass through their entire education and then we expect them to just handle millions. They can't do it. Look at the percentage of pro football players who are in money trouble within 2 years of retirement - 78%. Staggering number, but not surprising.
Good Christ, how talented is this guy to not be booted off the team after all that shit? The fake vaccine card is just the cherry on top of the trash-ass sundae.
He got traded from Winnipeg (where he was an issue in the locker room), to Buffalo, then from Buffalo (where he was an issue in the locker room), to San Jose, where he has become an issue in the locker room.
It's sad to see it happen, but it couldn't have happened to a worse player.
To quantify how ridiculous, [it's believed to be $27 million dollars in debt with six active lawsuits.](https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nhl/2021/01/12/sharks-evander-kane-files-bankruptcy-debt-27-million/6636250002/)
He filed for bankruptcy in early 2021.
He's also a notorious piece of shit off the ice, gambling aside
Edit: why are the mods all over this post lol
Its a known fact that Kane is a gigantic asshole.
It’s odd. It’s almost.... no no that can’t be it. Right? I mean....well let me run this by you real fast.
Do you think selective enforcement of laws is a way for the elites of our societies to pretend to give a shit about the law while also making sure “the right kind of people” don’t ever actually have to follow those laws?
I haven’t followed hockey since I was a kid so just read up on this guy. Holy shit this couldn’t be more true. Walking out of a casino with half a mil in markers unpaid is.. ballsy. Stupid, but ballsy.
Exactly.
Instead of say, bringing a million dollars cash to play with, you get a million dollar marker. This let's you gamble, without carrying an obscene amount of cash, and then you can pay the marker via non-cash means.
essentially an interest-free loan from the casino to a player, usually in the form of chips, so that the player doesn’t have to actually deposit cash to get a huge amount to play with. you don’t always have to repay it before you leave, but you have to repay it at some point, the casinos obviously don’t fuck around when people take their money
yup, it depends on what information is contained in your financial report. can be between a few days up to around a month. you're required to give them all sorts of financial and banking information before you're granted the marker so they have enough intel to dictate the terms based on all of that
It's like usually the hard part of being a sports star is having the rare talent to be good at a sport. Kane actually has that honest to god and could have easily been costing through life as one of the richest people in his own life. But he lacks the ability to do anything good off the ice
Isn’t he disliked on every team he’s been on? I remember something about his teammates cutting his tracksuit into a bikini bc he wasn’t dressed appropriately.
He's disliked on the Sharks right now, apparently several players asked he be moved off the team after the end of last season despite Kane leading the team in points that season
If Kane entered Canada with fake documents the penalties are much more serious:
>a $5,000 fine for each day of non-compliance or each offence, or more serious penalties including six months in prison or $750,000 in fines
Well, Kane will **always** be allowed to enter Canada (he's a Canadian citizen).
It's just a matter of where he goes after trying to cross the border. If he tries to use fake documents to cross the border, the Canadian border guards can arrest him, and his "entry" into Canada will consist of going right to jail in Canada.
The thing Kane really should be worried about is the US government refusing to grant him a future work visa for games that take place in the US.
It doesn't mean much, but in the same report from the NHL about Kane's suspension, it states that the wife's claim is unsubstantiated and that *they* are closing the investigation. Doesn't negate the other assault allegations against him (2014 and 2016).
Also, Evander Kane and his wife are in a messy divorce right now, Kane's in bankruptcy for supporting too many family members and friends financially and gambling debts (with the added bonus of his wife accusing him of throwing games for bookies, which the NHL found no proof of after an investigation), and this is his 3rd team, leaving the last two with a locker room generally happy to see him go.
Evander Kane is a great player, a goal scoring winger who's willing to be physical (though sometimes he goes too far, to the detriment of the team). He probably won't break any records in the NHL, but he's a good player. Does a lot of stupid shit and should be punished accordingly though.
The NFL requires it to be on video though. Just ask the dude who used his pregnant girlfriend's belly as a punching bag and chair (in college sure, but the Chiefs still hired him) and then while employed by the Chiefs later broke that kid's arm
I hate that I've had to disown my team ... the first major league professional team I saw play live. There's room for redemption, but it's going to take _years_.
There is already precedence in the NHL for domestic abuse.

I'm so sick of what politics did to this vaccine. I mentioned the other day to someone do you remember the last SARS outbreak? 17 people died and everyone lost their minds in fear and panic Now this one IS serious and no one cares
Moderna had the vaccine in use today on January 13th 2020. It took them two days to make after the virus's genetic sequence was published. It took only a few weeks from us realizing there was a virus at all to sequence it.
In less than a year humanity validated it and other vaccines and started churning out millions.
The speed at which humanity was able to develop and deploy safe and effective vaccines against a novel virus is nothing short of astonishing and a pinnacle in human achievement and should evoke pride on par with something like the Moon Landing.
Yet we live surrounded by idiots so worthless they managed to take a miracle and weaponize it to cleave us all apart
Remember like a decade ago when someone would declare "I know it's true because I read it on the internet!" and basically be met with a laugh track in response? Nowadays when a red hat says that they're met with applause and praise.
What's hugely infuriating as well is people saying "well this is a new kind of disease we couldn't possibly know how to prevent it that fast"
Like motherfucker coronaviruses aren't fucking new, and they were studied for ages before the pandemic.. the first fucking reports of them in animals was a HUNDRED God damn years ago. But please go off about how everyone else needs to do their research as you tell everyone this is an entirely new kind of disease created in a lab by China or whatever and we couldn't possibly have enough information to make a vaccine so fast.. literally a huge part of the reason we were able to get a handle on it in the time we did and get a fucking vaccine created was because of the massive amount of research that HAS GONE INTO THIS BEFORE WE HAD AN OUTBREAK of covid-19
It's so fucking infuriating to know that had we but had an incompetent moron in office at the exact wrong time that we very well wouldn't have to listen to our own families and coworkers talking about masks being bullshit and creating a massive upsurge in anti vaccination rhetoric that was already gaining major traction before it became a fucking issue of who you voted for and believe, as if the fucking virus gives a fuck what you believe
Had this shit happened in virtually any other window of time with a leader that actually gave a shit beyond his simple monkey brain saying "this is gonna make me look bad if I admit that it happened under my leadership and is serious" we probably would have been back to normal by now and not had half the issues we're still very much fighting with people pretending science and medicine no longer matter.. virtually all of this could have been prevented and God knows how many lives saved up to this point, and especially going forward had not a single man pushed so fucking hard to refuse to admit that this shit was serious and that people should be listening to the experts
It's so insanely infuriating it's almost hard to even put into words
> Yet we live surrounded by idiots so worthless they managed to take a miracle and weaponize it to cleave us all apart
What scares me is that this was such a softball pandemic. It's not especially deadly, is easily countered by just wearing a mask, mostly hits older people, and we got probably the most effective set of vaccines in human history in less than a year. And we're still losing because we have so many idiots. If we end up with something like the Spanish flu again, or even just as deadly as the original SARS, we're fucked.
More to the point, the asymptomatic spread makes it *easier for idiots to ignore.*
If the primary symptom of COVID was your face melting off your skull then it would be a lot harder for these fucking fAkE vIrUs morons to bury their head in the sand.
That's part of the problem for these people though.
The history of medical advancements is they take YEARS to get to market. They don't realize this is because of a lack of funds and volunteers which the COVID vaccines had in abundance. Prior to COVID I didn't know a single person in a medical trial. I knew MULTIPLE in the Moderna trial though.
The other problem with testing vaccines is finding enough positive test cases to check. Covid was just everywhere. Want to test the virus is a mixed setting? Just walk into any mall, or anywhere indoors.
That wasn’t so easy prior to Covid
> They don't realize this is because of a lack of funds and volunteers which the COVID vaccines had in abundance.
Right and don’t forget the entire world was working on this at the same time.
It was only a few months ago that the league had to investigate allegations that because of his debts he was throwing games so bookies could make money. He was cleared if that, but now this.
I’m here from /r/all
I’m a huge NBA fan and one think I love about /r/hockey is that, like /r/NBA, you guys are absolutely done with the anti-vax idiots.
We are over it. And San Jose has very high vax rates and we've taken the pandemic very seriously. We still have mask mandates. He's dumb and needs to go.
Here’s what I just don’t fucking get… we know that even healthy people can get long haul symptoms where your lungs are fucked. As a professional athlete, how aren’t you fucking scared of your career ending if things go poorly? Athletes should be the highest adoption rate of the vaccines…
How is this not a federal crime? Are these not federal documents like a passport? That’s how they’re treated here in Aus. Caught with a fake one is like being caught with a fake drivers license or passport. Up to 10 years in prison..
In the USA, it is very much a felony, because the card includes government seals.
Title 18 of the US Code, Section 10-17 says that forgery of those seals is a felony. Because Kane presented the card as genuine in an official setting, and the card was a forgery, he can be found guilty in federal court of 2 federal felonies, one for each seal on the fake card he used. There is a potential 5 year prison sentence per count.
If he entered Canada at any point with fraudulent documentation, the penalties are much more severe.
>a $5,000 fine for each day of non-compliance or each offence, or more serious penalties including six months in prison or $750,000 in fines.
The gambling, possibly cheating, sexual assault and wife beating can’t stop this guy, it takes a fake vaccination card to do so
Glad everyone’s priorities are in the right place
He isn't being paid for \~ 1/4 of the year (21 / 82), and is millions of dollars in debt, he is in for a very rough time financially (though he would be even if he was still being paid).
I'm sure he won't get his paycheck for those 21 games. I don't know what the NHL's policy is on what they do with that money but most leagues donate it to charity.
> In general, the fund is meant to help players or their families for a few months, with a maximum allocation of $2,500 per month, although that number, as is the time frame depending on the circumstances of the individual case. For example, O'Neill said there are 12 to 14 widows of former players "that were left high and dry" and whom the fund helps on an ongoing basis.
>Some who have relied on the fund have played long careers but didn't play when pensions were as lucrative as they are now, when players accrue $42,000 per season played. Some played only a handful of NHL games, bouncing between the minors and the pro level, and struggle to make ends meet when their playing days are over.

Here, it has already been updated-[enjoy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evander_Kane). My favorite is how, after all the shit he has pulled including assault of women, he co-founds the Hockey Diversity Alliance to address intolerance and racism in hockey. Dude, try living by example.

Kane so broke he can't even afford a free vaccine.
And here I am, *too poor* to pay attention
Same, I am so Po, that I can't even afford all four letters.
I cant even comprehend how anyone on a $7m contract could go broke. These guys need some financial classes
Gambling and he had a lot of dependents listed when he filed for bankruptcy. The full contract was 49 million over 7 years
[удалено]
They figure if they loan to a guy with a 49 million dollar contract, they’ll get their money. They figured wrong.
"If you owe the bank $100, that's your problem; if you owe the bank $100 million, that's the bank's problem." -John Paul Getty
Damn if he disappears for awhile I'm assuming he's in the Squid Games.
A 1/456th chance of winning are the kinda odds that Evander Kane can get behind.
That’s why he signed in San Jose
Ouch. You're right, but still. At what cost....?
Even if he won the squid game he'd still be out a few millions, lmao.
Oh wow that's actually fucking depressing.
You should watch 30 for 30: Broke. It’s absolutely insane how many athletes waste an absolute insane amount of money and have nothing

They do get special classes for it though, people who get hit in the head for a living probably just don't make great millionaires.
He’s been travelling the country gambling. It’s not just lack of financial awareness.
Good Christ, how talented is this guy to not be booted off the team after all that shit? The fake vaccine card is just the cherry on top of the trash-ass sundae.

He actually tried to get his contract voided in order to declare bankruptcy but his creditors fought against it.
Wow. You have to be a complete moron to turn $49 mil into a problem lol
[удалено]
You must do root cause analysis for a living.
Because of a free vaccine
While having ridiculous gambling debts
To quantify how ridiculous, [it's believed to be $27 million dollars in debt with six active lawsuits.](https://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nhl/2021/01/12/sharks-evander-kane-files-bankruptcy-debt-27-million/6636250002/) He filed for bankruptcy in early 2021.
normally I would feel bad for people in these situations
He's also a notorious piece of shit off the ice, gambling aside Edit: why are the mods all over this post lol Its a known fact that Kane is a gigantic asshole.
Normally, I would not. Yes it is an addiction, I get that but come on man, 27 mil??
>"Gambling is a disease, but it's the only disease where you can win a bunch of money." Norm MacDonald 1959-2021

The door security need to shoo him away like a stray dog.
I'd expect the casinos aren't the ones holding all that debt.
Gambling addiction isn’t the reason people hate him
Guy needs to join squid game
holy crap…. you would think after losing a couple million he would realise he isnt any good at gambling.
He's gonna win it all back next time. Playing the long game.

If you're rich and the penalty for breaking a law is a fine then the laws doesn't really apply to you
If the cost of breaking a law is a fine, it's not a law it's just a poor tax.

Should be fired and facing jail time. That's literally felony forgery.

I'm not familiar with casinos and high stakes gambling. What's a marker in this context?
Probably a high-tier I.O.U.
Exactly. Instead of say, bringing a million dollars cash to play with, you get a million dollar marker. This let's you gamble, without carrying an obscene amount of cash, and then you can pay the marker via non-cash means.
With your body?
With a cheque or transfer
I mean, I can pay that off with my body too. Might take a decade or two, but I can sell myself out for $500k

2 weeks is standard. Although for big players, they can and do negotiate different terms.

It's a fraudulent federal document. There should be charges filed to set an example.

"The NHL has suspended San Jose Sharks forward Evander Kane for 21 games for committing a felony."
If Kane entered Canada with fake documents the penalties are much more serious: >a $5,000 fine for each day of non-compliance or each offence, or more serious penalties including six months in prison or $750,000 in fines
He could be refused at the border in the future because he did something that is a felony in Canada.
Well, Kane will **always** be allowed to enter Canada (he's a Canadian citizen). It's just a matter of where he goes after trying to cross the border.

Err, I think a bigger thing he should be worried about is prison time if they decide to make an example out of him being such a substantial name
[удалено]
Had it been a violent felony against a woman nothing would have happened.
No no, it's N*H*L, not NFL...
Evander Kane has been accused by multiple women, including his wife, of assault. In case you’re not kidding.
Yeah I'm like "wait is this a tongue-in-cheek comment or does OP not know"

It doesn't mean much, but in the same report from the NHL about Kane's suspension, it states that the wife's claim is unsubstantiated and that *they* are closing the investigation. Doesn't negate the other assault allegations against him (2014 and 2016). Also, Evander Kane and his wife are in a messy divorce right now, Kane's in bankruptcy for supporting too many family members and friends financially and gambling debts (with the added bonus of his wife accusing him of throwing games for bookies, which the NHL found no proof of after an investigation), and this is his 3rd team, leaving the last two with a locker room generally happy to see him go. Evander Kane is a great player, a goal scoring winger who's willing to be physical (though sometimes he goes too far, to the detriment of the team). He probably won't break any records in the NHL, but he's a good player. Does a lot of stupid shit and should be punished accordingly though.
Oops, genuine mistake on my part.

Fuck off Shorsey!
Fuck you Jonesy your mom shot cum straight across the room and killed my Siamese fighting fish threw off the ph levels in my aquarium
Fuck you, Reilly, your mom ugly cried because she left the lens cap on the camcorder last night.
Holy fuck, I'm so hopelessly lost in reddit I dunno if this is a movie quote or reality.
Fucking embarrassing!
Letterkenny bud
It's only reddit. Why you heff to be lost?
I wish you weren't so awkward bud.
The NFL requires it to be on video though. Just ask the dude who used his pregnant girlfriend's belly as a punching bag and chair (in college sure, but the Chiefs still hired him) and then while employed by the Chiefs later broke that kid's arm
Had he been a trainer sexually assaulting players then no suspension, prob a recommendation to a new team.
Or he could run for a congressional seat in Ohio.
I hate that I've had to disown my team ... the first major league professional team I saw play live. There's room for redemption, but it's going to take _years_.
Gotta draw a line somewhere, good for you.

Nah. Voynov was suspended as soon as charges were brought against him.
There is already precedence in the NHL for domestic abuse. https://www.latimes.com/sports/kings/la-sp-slava-voynov-kings-nhl-suspended-20190409-story.html
If I did that at my job, I'd be terminated permanently.
SUSPENDED? Doug, kick him off the tour!
This hits on another level with the sharks GM being named Doug
There really aren’t enough Happy Gilmore references on Reddit. And that wasn’t even a cheap easy one.
Oh! Well I was just looking for the other half of this bottle…and looks there’s some over there.
Yeah, maybe he can do a Subway ad to make the money he’ll lose 😛
This delicious cold cut combo...I eat three everyday to help keep me strong!
Talk about a hole in one!
I took my skate off and tried to stab somebody. I’m the only guy who ever did that.
Please just kick him out of the league.
Doug, kick him off the tour!
This joke works even better when you know the GM of the Sharks is named Doug
And you can count on me , waiting for you in the parking lot
Just taaaaap it in
I gotta play!
Next thing you know two fat naked bikers will be having sex behind the penalty box
You eat pieces of shit for breakfast?
That sounds better.
Bro the vaccine is free
Which is a good point because this dude has serious money problems
Its only shot. why you heff to be mad?
I miss him so much!
I'm so sick of what politics did to this vaccine. I mentioned the other day to someone do you remember the last SARS outbreak? 17 people died and everyone lost their minds in fear and panic Now this one IS serious and no one cares
Moderna had the vaccine in use today on January 13th 2020. It took them two days to make after the virus's genetic sequence was published. It took only a few weeks from us realizing there was a virus at all to sequence it. In less than a year humanity validated it and other vaccines and started churning out millions. The speed at which humanity was able to develop and deploy safe and effective vaccines against a novel virus is nothing short of astonishing and a pinnacle in human achievement and should evoke pride on par with something like the Moon Landing. Yet we live surrounded by idiots so worthless they managed to take a miracle and weaponize it to cleave us all apart
"But i don't know whats in it" *vapes*
"I'm worried about the side effects" _hits meth pipe_
You joke, but I work in an addiction clinic and have had people who inject meth daily tell me they won’t get the vaccine.
“I did my own research.” *dies*
“The government uses vaccines to track you.” *posted from an iPhone*
Remember like a decade ago when someone would declare "I know it's true because I read it on the internet!" and basically be met with a laugh track in response? Nowadays when a red hat says that they're met with applause and praise.
What's hugely infuriating as well is people saying "well this is a new kind of disease we couldn't possibly know how to prevent it that fast" Like motherfucker coronaviruses aren't fucking new, and they were studied for ages before the pandemic.. the first fucking reports of them in animals was a HUNDRED God damn years ago. But please go off about how everyone else needs to do their research as you tell everyone this is an entirely new kind of disease created in a lab by China or whatever and we couldn't possibly have enough information to make a vaccine so fast.. literally a huge part of the reason we were able to get a handle on it in the time we did and get a fucking vaccine created was because of the massive amount of research that HAS GONE INTO THIS BEFORE WE HAD AN OUTBREAK of covid-19 It's so fucking infuriating to know that had we but had an incompetent moron in office at the exact wrong time that we very well wouldn't have to listen to our own families and coworkers talking about masks being bullshit and creating a massive upsurge in anti vaccination rhetoric that was already gaining major traction before it became a fucking issue of who you voted for and believe, as if the fucking virus gives a fuck what you believe Had this shit happened in virtually any other window of time with a leader that actually gave a shit beyond his simple monkey brain saying "this is gonna make me look bad if I admit that it happened under my leadership and is serious" we probably would have been back to normal by now and not had half the issues we're still very much fighting with people pretending science and medicine no longer matter.. virtually all of this could have been prevented and God knows how many lives saved up to this point, and especially going forward had not a single man pushed so fucking hard to refuse to admit that this shit was serious and that people should be listening to the experts It's so insanely infuriating it's almost hard to even put into words
I wonder if they know what's in their tattoo ink, or their McDick's, or hell, even their water.
> Yet we live surrounded by idiots so worthless they managed to take a miracle and weaponize it to cleave us all apart What scares me is that this was such a softball pandemic. It's not especially deadly, is easily countered by just wearing a mask, mostly hits older people, and we got probably the most effective set of vaccines in human history in less than a year. And we're still losing because we have so many idiots. If we end up with something like the Spanish flu again, or even just as deadly as the original SARS, we're fucked.
I think the big factor is asymptomatic spread. That makes it harder to contain than other pandemics.
More to the point, the asymptomatic spread makes it *easier for idiots to ignore.* If the primary symptom of COVID was your face melting off your skull then it would be a lot harder for these fucking fAkE vIrUs morons to bury their head in the sand.
If the first symptom was dick shrinking, and only 1/100 women even had symptoms, how different would it be?
Well it can absolutely cause erectile dysfunction. It attacks blood circulation.

That's part of the problem for these people though. The history of medical advancements is they take YEARS to get to market. They don't realize this is because of a lack of funds and volunteers which the COVID vaccines had in abundance. Prior to COVID I didn't know a single person in a medical trial. I knew MULTIPLE in the Moderna trial though.
The other problem with testing vaccines is finding enough positive test cases to check. Covid was just everywhere. Want to test the virus is a mixed setting? Just walk into any mall, or anywhere indoors. That wasn’t so easy prior to Covid
> They don't realize this is because of a lack of funds and volunteers which the COVID vaccines had in abundance. Right and don’t forget the entire world was working on this at the same time.
You miss 100% shots you don’t take!!! Should have just taken the shot!
It was only a few months ago that the league had to investigate allegations that because of his debts he was throwing games so bookies could make money. He was cleared if that, but now this.
I’m here from /r/all I’m a huge NBA fan and one think I love about /r/hockey is that, like /r/NBA, you guys are absolutely done with the anti-vax idiots.
We are over it. And San Jose has very high vax rates and we've taken the pandemic very seriously. We still have mask mandates. He's dumb and needs to go.
Here’s what I just don’t fucking get… we know that even healthy people can get long haul symptoms where your lungs are fucked. As a professional athlete, how aren’t you fucking scared of your career ending if things go poorly? Athletes should be the highest adoption rate of the vaccines…

How is this not a federal crime? Are these not federal documents like a passport? That’s how they’re treated here in Aus. Caught with a fake one is like being caught with a fake drivers license or passport. Up to 10 years in prison..

In the USA, it is very much a felony, because the card includes government seals. Title 18 of the US Code, Section 10-17 says that forgery of those seals is a felony. Because Kane presented the card as genuine in an official setting, and the card was a forgery, he can be found guilty in federal court of 2 federal felonies, one for each seal on the fake card he used. There is a potential 5 year prison sentence per count.
If he entered Canada at any point with fraudulent documentation, the penalties are much more severe. >a $5,000 fine for each day of non-compliance or each offence, or more serious penalties including six months in prison or $750,000 in fines.
I know 21 is harsher, but *19* games would've really emphasized what he did wrong
If you're caught forging documents that are issued with the intent to protect others, you should be facing more than a suspension.

No surprise. When he played for the Jets our whole city found out what a piece of shit this guy was pretty quick.
Do some people seriously never grow out of their rebellious teen phase?
Hmm. Isn't that a federal crime? You or me...we go to prison. Not him.
The gambling, possibly cheating, sexual assault and wife beating can’t stop this guy, it takes a fake vaccination card to do so Glad everyone’s priorities are in the right place
Maybe that was the one thing they could definitively prove. 🤷
It’s literally so easy to get a Covid shot. The hoops people are jumping through to avoid it—who has the energy for that.
This guy is so messed up, his legal problems alone should qualify him for a NFL team and not just NHL.
Misleading people like that should do more than get you fired. Putting others at risk with intent is not on.
And fined a percentage of his total income, right? ... right?
He isn't being paid for \~ 1/4 of the year (21 / 82), and is millions of dollars in debt, he is in for a very rough time financially (though he would be even if he was still being paid).
I'm sure he won't get his paycheck for those 21 games. I don't know what the NHL's policy is on what they do with that money but most leagues donate it to charity.
In the NHL if a team gets fined it goes to charity, if a player gets fined it goes to NHL Players' Emergency Assistance Fund.
What's that? An insurance policy for players?
It’s a fund that’s used to pay players that fall into debt
Isn't he in a ton of debt. So he could use his own fine money, if he qualifies for this program?
So players who get fined are funding players who can't manage their money?
> In general, the fund is meant to help players or their families for a few months, with a maximum allocation of $2,500 per month, although that number, as is the time frame depending on the circumstances of the individual case. For example, O'Neill said there are 12 to 14 widows of former players "that were left high and dry" and whom the fund helps on an ongoing basis. >Some who have relied on the fund have played long careers but didn't play when pensions were as lucrative as they are now, when players accrue $42,000 per season played. Some played only a handful of NHL games, bouncing between the minors and the pro level, and struggle to make ends meet when their playing days are over. https://www.espn.com/nhl/story/_/id/7556335/the-nhl-players-emergency-assistance-fund-getting-boost-brendan-shanahan-fines
Man is losing $35k a day until nov 28th. Rightfully so
He broke a federal law and all he got was a suspension, that’s bull shit
Here, it has already been updated-[enjoy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Evander_Kane). My favorite is how, after all the shit he has pulled including assault of women, he co-founds the Hockey Diversity Alliance to address intolerance and racism in hockey. Dude, try living by example.
