this is bullshit lmao he got a letter from their PR and legal dept and was told expeditiously to remove that info. he is a bullshit artist obsessed with engagement and always has been. falling for this oopsie-daisy-my-bad-silly-me drivel is a disservice to kindel.
Replying to @concretehaIIs
full clip of him clarifying and apologizing

Just a reminder that sometimes its OKAY to wait until we know all the facts so we are not basically speculating, especially when the family wants privacy.

It's disappointing -- albeit not surprising -- that it's 2026 and we, as a hockey collective, are still having to continually have the same conversations about journalistic and personal integrity. 🧵

Astonishing lack of ethics and professionalism from josh yohe who is apparently eager to violate an injured player’s privacy #TakeAFuckingHike

subsequent attempts at damage control don't change anything when this was a deliberate and conscious decision.. just an insane ethical breach and trying to mitigate the fallout with a rewritten narrative only amplifies the scumbag behavior

you're a genuine piece of shit for posting his private medical information. that's up to ben to decide if and when he wants that out there. idc if someone inside the org leaked it to you, you know it's wrong. it shouldn't take their legal team threatening you that to realise it.

mismanagment also includes the release of private information without consent... hope that's not whats going on with the pens situation
as someone going into sports medicine, the recent mismanagement of certain injuries is concerning— especially considering we aren’t anywhere close to playoff hockey. absolutely no reason to risk a guy ending up with something season-ending or worse just to play a few more mins

ik it's a difficult concept for some people but you can be a good beat reporter WITHOUT revealing sensitive medical info about a 19 year old. it's called having respect for players and seeing them as human beings instead of something that can drive clicks to your shit articles

Leaking, publishing & sharing Ben Kindel's PRIVATE MEDICAL INFORMATION without his knowledge & consent is reprehensible. Please do not share that Athletic article. It's disrespectful.

I do not think that he should be allowed to be press for the pens anymore. He blatantly ignored a request for privacy, he doesn’t seem to respect the organization OR the players, and if anything, he doesn’t seem to care about anything other than his scoop

not quoting the tweets about it but leaking information on someone's medical event within hours of being asked to respect their privacy and wait for news from the team is genuine scum behaviour and shows a staggering lack of respect for another human being! disgusting behaviour

I’m genuinely furious! Just an immediate dismissal of the pr teams request! FOR WHAT? FOR CLICKS?
what part of this section of the public statement the pens made do we not understand ??

If a source demands anonymity then its safe to say that the info is not theirs to share AND THE SOURCE WALKED IT BACK. The article was amended. The source is now saying “medical episode”. No specifics. Potential misinformation is being spread, cause someone wanted the headline.

the article was just edited to remove the sensitive info which is good but it should not have been published in the first place.
the ny times article about kindy’s condition seems to have sensitive medical information shared without his consent. the “anonymous” source should not have shared the specifics of what happened. /:

josh yohe posting private medical information about kindy before it was shared through official sources (if it would have been at all) who’s surprised. nice journalistic integrity there.

genuinely what part of privacy being a top priority and "the team will provide further updates when appropriate" is hard to understand

i really don’t think this information needed to be shared without ben and the team’s express permission.

super fucking weird of j*sh y*he to report on something a pens staffer couldn’t share without being named as an anonymous source. if they aren’t willing to attach their name to what they’re sharing with a reporter, it probably shouldn’t be published.
