“In light of the statement issued today by the Erie County District Attorney’s Office, as an internal League matter, we intend to promptly review the information that may now be available to us," NHL deputy commissioner Bill Daly said in a statement Thursday. "We will have no further comment until we have completed that review."

The Blackhawks and Kane responded briefly to the district attorney's decision.

“We respect the announcement today by the Erie County (N.Y.) District Attorney regarding Patrick Kane," the club said in a statement. "The Chicago Blackhawks organization has taken this matter very seriously, and has tried to navigate a very sensitive situation while continually respecting the legal proceedings. At this time we will have no further comment.”

Kane reiterated that he did not break the law.

“I have repeatedly said that I did nothing wrong. I have respected the legal process and I am glad that this matter has now been closed and I will have nothing further to say going forward," he wrote.
