One of former NHL tough guy and hockey broadcaster Paul Bissonnette's attackers denied involvement in the incident when police approached him after the November altercation.

“Sean Daly didn't even have to appear in person in court today. No one else did,” Bissonnette posted on X along with Daly's arrest video. “This is the guy who tried to kick me 50 yards with my brain. Just some stupid cousin of a bitch. He'll get it.”
