Alan Eagleson - After Release From Jail

After Release From Jail

Since being released, Eagleson has largely remained out of the limelight, although he was interviewed on television after Canada's loss to Russia in the 2006 Winter Olympic Games in Turin, Italy.

All Summit Series events for Team Canada so far have involved only the players and coaches. Eagleson was originally invited to the 40th anniversary reunion of the Summit Series scheduled in September 2012 with the support of most members of Team Canada; however, due to opposition from Phil Esposito, Brad Park, and Dennis Hull, Eagleson was disinvited. It has been suggested that some players still held a grudge not only because of Eagleson's fraud and abuse, but also his lack of contrition.
