Kitchener and the Daily settle (i.e. call a truce)

It appears that the Daily and Kitchener have settled without ever going to court. The Daily issued a retraction of their story saying

The Daily clarifies here that, while it was at the time reporting a story of importance to the Michigan sports community, and that its source made the claims reported in the story, if all of the facts had been known to the Daily, including the denials that were not initially reported, and the subsequent OHL investigation that found no violation, the Daily would not have published the story. The Daily has accordingly removed the story from its website.

While Kitchener releases a little propoganda

It is unfortunate that there are individuals so intent on harming our organization that they would fabricate and disseminate harmful lies. It is particularly unfortunate that they chose to implicate Jacob Trouba and his family, who should not have had to answer to the baseless allegation.”

I also hear that Kitchener's COO had 11 hole-in-ones on his first time golfing. I'm guessing the OHL penalties on Windsor drove this to completion because I doubt Kitchener wanted the OHL to go digging more and I'm sure the Daily just wanted to be done with it.
