Bernier Free To Go 'Hollywood' Again

Aug 20, 2014 10:13 PM

Jonathan Bernier is apparently free to go Hollywood again, though he's still waiting for the official go ahead. The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce is no longer seeking a licensing fee from the Kings goalie in exchange for wearing an illustration of the iconic hillside sign on his mask. Christine Sovich of Global Icons, the agency that represents the Hollywood sign's trust, told Mayorsmanor.com, which broke the original story, that it was all a misunderstanding.

Kings' Bernier Must Change 'Hollywood' Mask

Dec 9, 2014 4:38 PM

The Hollywood Chamber of Commerce says the image of the iconic sign on Kings goalie Jonathan Bernier's mask is a trademark violation. A Hollywood Chamber of Commerce representative saw a photo of Bernier's mask in the newspaper, and registered a complaint, according to the Kings' website. The organization, which owns certain trademark rights for the sign's image, asked the Kings to have the image taped over, and also removed, or he will have to pay royalties.

Fleury's Abuser Gets Two-Year Prison Term

Graham James was sentenced Tuesday to two years in prison for sexually preying on two of his former players. Judge Catherine Carlson called James' behavior "predatory and orchestrated to make victims dependent on him." James pleaded guilty in December to repeatedly sexually abusing Theo Fleury and his cousin, Todd Holt, when they played for him in the WHL in the 1980s and '90s. The 39-year-old Holt called the sentence a "national travesty."
