Columbus Defenseman Jake Bean Is Officially Not One Of The Five Players Being Charged

Columbus defenseman Jake Bean is not one of the five players told to turn themselves in to Canadian Authorities, according to THN's Rick Westhead in an article released today. 

Blue Jacket fans had been on edge for a while now waiting for the info to come out, and now they can breathe a sigh of relief.

Last week, several players decided they were stepping away from their teams, and as the names started to leak, CBJ fans wondered who all would be next. THN Columbus was told that morning that Jake Bean's name would not be one of the players told to turn themselves in. The Jackets were in Western Canada at the time, and his name was not mentioned about stepping away.
